Error saying Extraneous options or arguments when trying to run an ansible playbook

0 votes

Hey, I'm very new to ansible. I tried running a simple ansible playbook using the following command but it failed and gave me an error instead.

ansible playbook auto.yml

error:

Usage: ansible <host-pattern> [options]
Define and run a single task 'playbook' against a set of hostsERROR! Extraneous options or arguments

What am I doing wrong?

Hey @Nisha, You are using the wrong command to execute your playbook.

Use the following syntax:

ansible-playbook -i hosts playbookname.yml

or 

ansible-playbook playbook-name.yml
