plugin.(*GRPCProvider).ApplyResourceChange error

[DonBower]

I am running this on my macOS version 13.5.2 (22G91) MacBook Pro, Intel i9 processor.

Terraform version: Terraform v1.5.7 vSphere Provider: 2.4.2 Ansible Provider: 1.1.0

Anybody know what my issue might be?

I have this TF code:

resource "ansible_playbook" "playbook" {
  playbook   = "${path.module}/ansible/main.yaml"
  name       = "${module.rancherVM["rancher"].thisIP},"
  replayable = true

  extra_vars = {
    var_a = "Some variable"
    var_b = "Another variable"
  }
}

which produces this output:

ansible-playbook failed to run.

39 all over again 🙃 (there are some tips there for getting run output but this really should have better UX)

FYI: I ran the playbook externally, and it ran without error. I will try the steps outlined in #39

[DonBower]

While there was not an error with the playbook itself, the error was when I passed the ip, I added a comma after it, as you do when you run ansible-playbook -i 1.2.3.4, playbook-name.yaml. I removed the comma, and it worked.

This really is a bad error message.
