Ansible 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.

Hi all,

just ran into the same issue, same error, after we switched to ansible 2.12.2 from Ansible 2.10.15

Ansible version: 2.12.2

Big-IP version: 15.1.3

Ansible module: f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_lx_package

The ansible task:

 

- name: Install AS3 package.
  f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_lx_package:
    provider: "{{ localprovider }}"
    package: "/var/config/rest/downloads/f5-appsvcs-{{ target_version }}-{{ target_release }}.noarch.rpm"
    retain_package_file: yes
 
Output:
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: split() takes no keyword arguments

When I switch back to Ansible 2.10.15, everything works fine.
