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!

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: split() takes no keyword arguments

    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.

      Thank you so much!! the no_f5_teem: True in the provider also fixed it for me!

      I really appreciate it!

    nice 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

    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
