Ansible Playbook Runs Successfully | Generated by AI
Your playbook now runs successfully! π
The task completed with ok: [localhost], and the file /tmp/hello_from_ansible.txt was created (or updated) correctly.
The only things you see now are non-fatal warnings:
[WARNING]: No inventory was parsed, only implicit localhost is available
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available...
β Normal when you run against localhost without an inventory file. You can ignore them or silence them if you want.
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS default to `True` is deprecated...
Use `ansible_facts["fact_name"]` instead.
β This is just Ansible telling you that in the future (ansible-core 2.24+), facts like ansible_date_time will no longer be automatically available as top-level variables.
Quick fixes (optional but recommended for future-proofing)
Update your playbook like this:
---
- name: Tiny demo
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- name: Create a file with some text
ansible.builtin.copy:
content: >-
Managed by Ansible β hello from
on
All done!
dest: /tmp/hello_from_ansible.txt
mode: '0644'
Key change:
β
(You can also use `` β both work.)
Bonus: Silence the inventory warnings (if you want a clean output)
Just add connection: local or explicitly target localhost:
- name: Tiny demo
hosts: localhost
connection: local # <-- add this line
gather_facts: yes
or run the playbook with -i localhost, :
ansible-playbook -i localhost, scripts/ansible/hello.yml
Thatβs it! Your playbook is working perfectly now. Feel free to expand it with more tasks.
