Can you provide a link to the win_script module? I don't see it in the
ansible documentation.
I'm using ansible 1.7.2. I've confirmed the issue is caused by my variable
including an equal sign. I need to quote my variable {{ "var" }} in the
playbook, but when this variable is used in the script module the quotes
are included. For example,
var: @{key=value}
script: powershell.ps1 {{ "var" }}
The call to the windows box is:
powershell.ps1 "@{key=value}"
instead of:
powershell.ps1 @{key=value}
