I have a test.yml file which has a role to checkout code from git (both copied below):
site.yml
---
- hosts: webservers
user: me
roles:
- role: test-role
main.yml file in test-role/tasks
---
- name: fetching my repo
vars:
my_repo_url: [email protected]:myrepo/my-server.git
my_proj_path: /tmp/repos/my-server/
tasks:
- name: check out git repository on host
git: repo={{ my_repo_url }} dest={{ my_proj_path }} accept_hostkey=yes
hosts:
[webservers]
testserver ansible_ssh_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx ansible_ssh_port=xxxx
when I run the following:
ansible-playbook -i hosts site.yml
I am getting the exception copied below referencing the main.yml file in the tasks section of the role. Any ideas what I might have misconfigured.
ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path.
The error appears to have been in '/home/user/git/roles/test-role/tasks/main.yml': line 3, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: fetching my repo
^ here

Update Tried changing as per Konstantin's feedback but I am getting more or less the same exception:
roles/test-role/defaults/main.yml
---
vars:
my_repo_url: [email protected]:myrepo/my-server.git
my_proj_path: /tmp/repos/my-server/
tasks/main.yml
---
- name: fetching my repo
tasks:
- name: check out git repository on host
git: repo={{ my_repo_url }} dest={{ my_proj_path }} accept_hostkey=yes
Exception: Now its complaining about the line below. I get the same response when I run syntax check.
---
- name: fetching my repo
^ here
Update Followed Konstantin and Avalon's answers - I was able to run the task successfully.
