ERROR Ansible playbook execution failed - Ansible Jenkins

Question

I have a playbook and I'm trying to execute it using the Jenkins pipeline. 

pipeline script:

withEnv(["PYTHONPATH=/home/ec2-user/ansible/lib"]) {
                ansiblePlaybook([
                    colorized: true,
                    credentialsId: 'my-creds',
                    installation: 'ansible-2-2-0',
                    inventory: 'staging',
                    playbook: 'deploy.yml',
                    extras: "--extra-vars 'app_build_id=${git_commit}'"
                ])

            }

output:
