It is unpacking a tar file successfully but at the same time I am getting
below error. Could you please help.
{"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error
was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'dest_tar'\n\nThe error appears to have
been in '/etc/ansible/xxx/xy/tasks/main.yml': line 26, column 5, but
may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe
offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: test\n ^ here\n"}
