Struggled with this problem for few days and finally managed to fix it.
1. Removed ansible from the machine (deleted everything)
ansible --version
ansible 2.0.1.0 (detached HEAD bec698052f) last updated 2016/02/22 11:04:54
(GMT +100)
lib/ansible/modules/core: (detached HEAD 9552a22b83) last updated 2016/02/
22 11:04:59 (GMT +100)
lib/ansible/modules/extras: (detached HEAD 51cddf2b35) last updated 2016/
02/22 11:05:05 (GMT +100)
config file =
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
2. Executed following code:
- name: Synchronize files
delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
synchronize:
recursive: yes
links: yes
times: yes
src: "{{ item.source }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
with_items:
- { source: '{{ some_path }}/some.git/file.txt', dest:
'/abc/def/file.txt' }
--> works ok
I have had multiple syntax errors in my "code" but by some reason had more
problems with 2.0.0.2 and 22th Feb 2016 git version seems to work better
for me.
Found out that one error that I had was one space character indentation
before the block and previous block was without the indentation so that
caused one error. However; there were multiple other small syntax errors.
