[ansible-project] Re: ERROR! 'item' is undefined" with synchronize module + with items

[AS]

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.

[ansible-project] Re: ERROR! 'item' is undefined" with synchronize module + with items

[AS]

Fixed the indentation to with_items block but still it does not work.

*Try 1*

- name: Synchronize files 
  synchronize: src="{{ item.source }}" dest="{{ item.dest }}" recursive=yes 
links=yes times=yes rsync_opts="--devices"
  with_items:
 - { source: project/conf/file.conf, dest: '/etc/asdf/nginx.conf }
 - { source: project/conf/somefolder/, dest: '/etc/asdf/somefolder/ }
 - { source: /conf/asdf/anotherfolder/', dest: 
'/etc/asfd/anotherfolder/ }

  synchronize:
src: "{{ item.source }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
recursive: yes
links: yes

rsync_opts: "--devices"
with_items:
   - { source: 'project/conf/file.conf', dest: '/etc/asdf/nginx.conf' }

   - { source: '/conf/asdf/anotherfolder/', dest: 
'/etc/asfd/anotherfolder/' }

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.


The error appears to have been in 
'/home/osboxes/analytics/tstdeployment/roles/orfer/tasks/main.yml': line 
36, column 86, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

with_items:
  - { source: 'project/conf/file.conf', dest: '/etc/asdf/nginx.conf' }
^ 
here
This one looks easy to fix.  It seems that there is a value started
with a quote, and the YAML parser is expecting to see the line ended
with the same kind of quote.  For instance:

when: "ok" in result.stdout

Could be written as:

   when: '"ok" in result.stdout'

Or equivalently:

   when: "'ok' in result.stdout"

*Try 4*
   
- name: Synchronize files 
  synchronize:
src: "{{ item.source }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
recursive: yes
links: yes
times: yes
rsync_opts: "--devices"

   - { source: "project/conf/somefolder/", dest:
