[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Use errors="ignore" instead of skip. This feature will be removed in version 2.12. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute '_ansible_item_label'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/path/to/ansible/playbook.yml': line 76, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Demo Task\n ^ here\n"}
