Yes, but probably one in your own configuration:

You define type as sata, but the ansible version that you run only
supports 'ide':
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/modules/vmware_guest_module.html#parameter-cdrom
Try upgrading to something less ancient, or use 'ide', or don't define
controller_type as 'ide' is the default for that anyway.

RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [ansible-project] trying to modify line in yaml file spaces
I agree that it would better to manage state not contents of the file. I suggest having multiple docker compose files each pointing to the jenkins version and use Ansible to change symbolic links to the one you desire. A list of files would be docker-compose-jenkins:2.232.1 docker-compose-jenkins:2.303.1 docker-compose-jenkins:2.303.2 docker-compose-jenkins:2.319.2 docker-compose-jenkins:2.319.3 docker-compose-jenkins:2.332.1 Ansible would set the symlink to the desired docker-compose Sym Link -- docker-compose.yml -> docker-compose-jenkins:2.332.1 -Original Message- From: ansible-project@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Dick Visser Sent: Wednesday, May 11, 2022 2:39 PM To: ansible-project@googlegroups.com Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [ansible-project] trying to modify line in yaml file spaces You're apparently trying to keep some sort of record/audit trail of used software versions, as comments in a docker compose yaml file. While it will probably be possible to do what you want, the question is: should you? IMHO this is pretty much the opposite of what ansible was meant for... Why not set up something better? I can't speak for others but personally I'm not very inclined to help with questions about such kludges. In that respect it is also in your own interest to put the bar a little bit higher...

My two cents:
- host name / remote user should be in the inventory and not in the playbook
- consider using import_role instead of include_role
