'Task' object has no attribute 'play'

Hi,
If you have this error it means that the callback has been well called.
What is your Ansible version?

On my side:

ansible --version
ansible [core 2.13.6]
  ansible python module location = /home/nico/.local/pipx/venvs/ansible/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/nico/Documents
  executable location = /home/nico/.local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.10.6 (main, Nov 14 2022, 16:10:14) [GCC 11.3.0]
  jinja version = 3.1.2
  libyaml = True

Hi,
Mine looks to be 3.4.0 with ansible-base being 2.10.17 (all "classic" Ansible, not core).

I updated it and now it seems to work. I did not manage to find any version requirements when installing Monkeyble, though, I guess I should have updated it first.
Thank you

[DatPenguin]

My bad, I tested it wrong. The warning is still here, right before the output of my role.

[DatPenguin]

Here is the output, as well as the content of the related files : (I see Chinese ideograms but I guess this is related to the emoji encoding)

Be sure to install the last '6' version (inferior to Ansible 7). Not tested with this one but it should be fine.

[DatPenguin]

Just tried with 6.7.0, but no changes

[Sispheor]

Weird,
Could you share your ansible.cfg?

[DatPenguin]

Sure, here it is :

[defaults] 
library = /home/user-ansible/monkeyble/plugins/module
module_utils = /home/user-ansible/monkeyble/plugins/module_utils
callback_plugins = /home/user-ansible/monkeyble/plugins/callback
callbacks_enabled = monkeyble_callback
jinja2_native = True

/home/user-ansible/monkeyble/ is, of course, where I cloned the repo.

[Sispheor]

And ansible --version

[DatPenguin]

ansible [core 2.14.1]
config file = /home/user-ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/home/user-ansible/monkeyble/plugins/module']
ansible python module location = /home/user-ansible/ansible/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/user-ansible/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /home/user-ansible/ansible/bin/ansible
python version= 3.9.2 (default, Feb 28 2021, 17:03:44) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110] (/home/user-ansible/ansible/bin/python)
jinja version = 3.1.1
libyaml = True

[Sispheor]

So you are using Ansible "7".
Could you reinstall with pip3 install ansible <7.

And so the corresponding core version should be 2.13.

If it works it means that I need to update the tool to have Ansible 7 support🙂

[Sispheor]

I tested on my side with Ansible 7 (core 2.14.1) and it works.

[DatPenguin]

I tried on a brand new VM and still got the same result.
Here are the exact steps I followed :

• Created a virtualenv named ansible
• Installed ansible with pip install ansible
• Copied my files (only the ones I already sent here)
• Ran the playbook with the following command-line : ansible-playbook demo_monkeyble.yml -i inventory.ini -e "@test_monkeyble.yml" -e "monkeyble_scenario=validate_test_1" --ask-pass

For testing purposes, I can provide a zip file containing all of the files inside my working folder, just in case I forgot to mention something. Would that be useful?

[DatPenguin]

I misread because the first part of the error line is the same, but it appears that since the first update (this morning) the error has changed : it is now NoneType object is not subscriptable (cf. #14 (comment))

[Sispheor]

Could you start by testing the basic hello world from the doc?

[DatPenguin]

I believe I have found the problem. In the test var file, the indent between the 4 first levels (from monkeyble_scenarios to assert_equal) is 2 spaces per level.
In the last level, though (that is inside of assert_equal), the indent is 4 spaces. I copied the template by hand, so I just put the same indent as the lines before.

I am quite new to Yaml, but is it common for indentation to change like this?

Thank you for the time you spent fixing this issue.

[Sispheor]

Yes an indentation error can produce the behavior you got.
Glad you found the issue.
Have fun with Monkeyble !

[Sispheor]

BTW, you should use vscode with the plugin ansible from Red Hat. It will protect you from this kind of error.
And don't forget to star the project if it helps you 😉🙏
Cya !
