CirrusAnsible Error: An exception occurred during task execution
Wondering if anyone has seen this type of error using Ansible. Any information would be gladly appreciated! [ Spoiler ]
Problem solved! At least for us. In short, the module in our playbook needs to be executed on the Big-IP itself which uses Python 2.7 and causes the "split()" error. In most cases this can be resolved with "connection: local" or "delegate_to: localhost", as it is with all the F5 Ansible modules. In our case the solution was a bit different, you can check the GitHub issue for explanation.

Adminnice use of the spoiler option! For those that are better versed with ansible errors than I, do you have the (sanitized) playbook you're running that you can share, what version of BIG-IP and what version of python you're using? Thanks...Jason
JoshBarrowIt is running Python Version 3.8 and BIG IP Version 14.1.2.6.
