Using hostname module raises an error #5304
Description
I tried to use the hostname module but it raises an error.
ERROR: hostname is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handlerSee: http://www.ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#hostname
I ran this command:
$ ansible-playbook -i hosts test.yml --private-key=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_keyHere's my hosts file:
[dev]
192.168.56.102
Here's my test.yml file:
---
- hosts: dev
user: vagrant
tasks:
- ping:
- hostname: name=newnamePing works, but as soon as I add the hostname call the error is raised.
I'm on the devel branch 1.4.1 release. See also...
