ansible problem execut for get vm info in vsphere

I try to execute this ansible yml file to get vm info in vsphere,

I have two files:

hosts file:

[Web]
192.168.11.11 #ip of my vsphere server

test.vmware2.yaml file:

- name: Gather all registered virtual machines
  community.vmware.vmware_vm_info:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: vminfo

I execute with this command:

ansible -i /mnt/hosts test.vmware2.yaml

I have this message:

ERROR! 'community.vmware.vmware_vm_info' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The error appears to be in '/mnt/test.vmware2.yaml': line 1, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


- name: Gather all registered virtual machines
  ^ here

I want to know what is the problem ?

thanks for your response

I think you want to execute an ansible-playbook:

ansible-playbook -i /mnt/hosts test.vmware2.yaml

then you playbook file should look like this:

 - hosts: Web
   gather_facts: false
   become: false
   vars:
      vcenter_hostname: 10.10.10.1
      vcenter_username: user
      vcenter_password: password
   tasks:
     - name: Gather all registered virtual machines
       community.vmware.vmware_vm_info:
         hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
         username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
         password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
       delegate_to: localhost
       register: vminfo

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ item.guest_name }}, {{ item.ip_address }}"
      with_items:
        - "{{ vminfo.virtual_machines }}"
