Vague deprecation error when running ansible playbook

Question

My playbook contains vars that are passed to a role. When I run it, I get [DEPRECATION WARNING]: Skipping task due to undefined Error, in the future this will be a fatal error..

Here's what I have:

---

- hosts: hadoopL0X
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo

  vars:
    logrotate_scripts:
      - name: "{{ item  }}"
        with_items:
          - zookeeper
          - sa
        path: "/var/log{{ item }}/{{ item }}.log "
        options:
          - daily
          - rotate 3
          - missingok
          - compress
          - notifempty
  roles:
    - log-rotation

...

The role is as such:

log-rotation/tasks/main.yml

---

- name: Setup logrotate.d scripts
  template:
    src: logrotate.d.j2
    dest: "{{ logrotate_conf_dir }}{{ item }}"
  with_items: "{{ logrotate_scripts }}"

...

log-rotation/defaults/main.yml

---

logrotate_conf_dir: "/etc/logrotate.d/"
logrotate_scripts: []

...

log-rotation/templates/logrotate.d.j2

# {{ ansible_managed }}

"{{ item.path }}" {
  {% if item.options is defined -%}
  {% for option in item.options -%}
  {{ option }}
  {% endfor -%}
  {% endif %}
  {%- if item.scripts is defined -%}
  {%- for name, script in item.scripts.iteritems() -%}
  {{ name }}
    {{ script }}
  endscript
  {% endfor -%}
  {% endif -%}
}

Any help would be much appreciated!

Answer 1

with_items can only be used with tasks, it cannot be used when defining variables, and because of that item isn't defined. It also looks like that the service variable isn't defined as well.
