Nope, doesn't work.
My file structure is:
windows_playbook.yml
group_vars/windows
inventory/win
My playbook:
---
- name: Configure instance
hosts: windows
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: Install common packages from chocolatey
win_chocolatey: package=notepadplusplus state=present
group_vars/windows has:
ansible_ssh_user: administrator
ansible_ssh_pass: hidden
ansible_ssh_port: 5986
ansible_connection: winrm
inventory/win is simply:
[windows]
1.2.3.4
Output is always:
ERROR: win_chocolatey is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler
I've tried specifying variables at the command line. I.e.
ansible-playbook hosts_windows.yml -i inventories/windows -u administrator
-k -c winrm
It asks for the password then fails with the same error.
Again, this command works fine:
ansible -v windows -i inventories/windows -m win_chocolatey -c winrm -u
administrator -k -a 'package=notepadplusplus'
Any further suggestions welcome :)
