I got the following error:
ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, /etc/ansible/playbooks/search
/roles/aws/tasks/main.yml
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 13, column 17
state: running
user_data: """#!/bin/bash
^
This one looks easy to fix. It seems that there is a value started
with a quote, and the YAML parser is expecting to see the line ended
with the same kind of quote. For instance:
when: "ok" in result.stdout
Could be written as:
when: '"ok" in result.stdout'
or equivalently:
when: "'ok' in result.stdout"
