All, I'm running version 2.1.1, and have a very simple play to restart a service on my Win2k8 and Win2k12 servers:
--- - hosts: all gather_facts: false tasks: - name: restart ListManagerWeb win_service: name: ListManagerWeb state: restarted start_mode: auto The start_mode parameter is optional and, until a few days ago, the play would run without it. However, if I run the play without it, I get the following: <talk> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: ansible on PORT 5986 TO talk <talk> EXEC Set-StrictMode -Version Latest (New-Item -Type Directory -Path $env:temp -Name "ansible-tmp-1472648842.63-190726517193215").FullName | Write-Host -Separator ''; <talk> PUT "/tmp/tmp7PEdUH" TO "C:\Users\ansible\AppData\Local\Temp\ansible-tmp-1472648842.63-190726517193215\win_service.ps1" <talk> EXEC Set-StrictMode -Version Latest Try { & 'C:\Users\ansible\AppData\Local\Temp\ansible-tmp-1472648842.63-190726517193215\win_service.ps1' } Catch { $_obj = @{ failed = $true } If ($_.Exception.GetType) { $_obj.Add('msg', $_.Exception.Message) } Else { $_obj.Add('msg', $_.ToString()) } If ($_.InvocationInfo.PositionMessage) { $_obj.Add('exception', $_.InvocationInfo.PositionMessage) } ElseIf ($_.ScriptStackTrace) { $_obj.Add('exception', $_.ScriptStackTrace) } Try { $_obj.Add('error_record', ($_ | ConvertTo-Json | ConvertFrom-Json)) } Catch { } Echo $_obj | ConvertTo-Json -Compress -Depth 99 Exit 1 } An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is: At C:\Users\ansible\AppData\Local\Temp\ansible-tmp-1472648842.63-190726517193215\win_service.ps1:265 char:5 + If ($params.start_mode) { + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *fatal: [talk]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "invocation": {"module_name": "win_service"}, "msg": "The property 'start_mode' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists."}* Why, all of a sudden, am I seeing this behavior, and how do I fix it?
