Ansible ERROR! Unexpected Exception: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Ansible, ansible-playbook, playbook.yml:

ansible-playbook -i /env/dev testRole.yml

ERROR! Unexpected Exception: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Solution:

Look like you are testing the role where no task define in tasks/main.yml file:

.

├── defaults

│   └── main.yml

├── handlers

│   └── main.yml

├── meta

│   └── main.yml

├── README.md

├── tasks

│   └── main.yml

├── tests

│   ├── inventory

│   └── test.yml

└── vars

    └── main.yml

Was tasks/main.yml

---

# tasks file for

Add the any Ansible module then it will resolved this issue. e.g.

Now your

tasks/main.yml

---

- name: Install zip/unzip util

  yum: name={{ item }} state=present

  with_items:

    - "zip"

    - "unzip"

Save and run it!!!

ansible-playbook -i /env/dev testRole.yml

PLAY [localhost] *********************************************

TASK [zip : Install zip/unzip util] *********************************

ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'zip', u'unzip'])

TASK [hybrisProvisionInstance : Install zip/unzip util] *****************

ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'zip', u'unzip'])

PLAY RECAP ************************************************

localhost                  : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

Happy learning and implementation!!!
