When I make Todd's changes, I get the same original error EXCEPT it tells me CentOS is not a dict, even though I am targeting a Debian box.
Dick, are you saying that the file all.yml in the group_vars folder does not need to be explicitly stated in my playbook?

It is being read in by my playbook like this: vars_files: - group_vars/default.yml If 'group_vars' is adjacent to your playbook, then 'group_vars/default.yml' would also load if the host is in a group called 'default'. So this file name/location is a bit ambiguous. In any case I would only use the 'vars_files' statement for files that are not automatically loaded. So I would remove the vars_files statement from your playbook and then rename the vars file to 'group_vars/all.yml'. Or create a dir 'group_vars/all' and move it there: 'group_vars/all/default.yml' (or main.yml, doesn't matter) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
