I have been trying to write a playbook that adds the EPEL repo to the list of repos available.
The playbook
I have is:
- hosts: all
# define variables.
vars:
epelReleaseMajorVersion: 7
epelReleaseMinorVersion: 8
tasks:
- name: add epel repo
yum-repository:
name: add epel repo
description: EPEL YUM repo
baseurl: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/$epelReleaseMajorVersion/x86_64/e/epel-release-$epelReleaseMajorVersion-$epelReleaseMinorVersion.noarch.rpm
tags: addEpelRepo
I am trying to run this playbook
like so:
ansible-playbook -v -i "localhost," -c local serverSetup.yml
and get the following error:
ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to have been in '/root/ansible/playbooks/serverSetup.yml': line 21, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
tasks:
- name: add epel repo
^ here
My questions:
1. Am I using the variables epelReleaseMajorVersion etc. correctly?
2. How do I solve for this error? I have been taking a look at the docs but there do not seem to be many examples.
