Ansible Playbook Runs Successfully | Generated by AI

Home 2025.12

Your playbook now runs successfully! πŸŽ‰

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.

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

That’s it! Your playbook is working perfectly now. Feel free to expand it with more tasks.
