Hi Michael,
I'll provide a short example to prove my point (b11be68249):
$ cat whatever.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
foo: bar
tasks:
- name: test
local_action:
module: copy
src: ./src
dest: ./dest
$ ansible-playbook whatever.yml
ERROR: dest is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler
Whereas:
$ cat whatever.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
foo: bar
tasks:
- name: test
local_action:
module: copy
src: ./src
dest: ./dest
$ ansible-playbook whatever.yml
PLAY [localhost]
**************************************************************
TASK: [test]
******************************************************************
ok: [localhost -> 127.0.0.1]
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
I'm sorry you feel like that way about the link. I know it's sometimes easy
to oversee the local_action attribute. It is mostly used (although it's not
the only way) when one calls SDK/APIs through localhost.
Can you perhaps show how and where you include this create_web.yml of
yours? Perhaps the scope is not set right.
Cheers,
Dan.
