"Could not find the requested service \"'tomcat'\"

[takasuka]

I have similar issue.
Temporary, I run "systemctl daemon-reload".

[noydhiet]

I have similar issue, when simply running start tomcat playbook

• name: Start Tomcat
  service: name=tomcat state=started enabled=yes

anyone solving this issue? appreciate it

[ramanjk]

@noydhiet : follow below solution

• name: start tomcat
  systemd:
  state: restarted
  daemon_reload: yes
  name: tomcat
  ~

Perhaps not related, but I had this error because I was running the systemd command under the wrong user (by default is root) and I have services running with less privileges.

As an example, I modified my Ansible commands to something like this:

name: Start Tomcat
become: yes
become_user: <username>
systemd:
  - name: tomcat
  - state: started
  - enabled: yes
  - scope: user

I'm running Ansible v2.9.4
