Hi Michael,
Thanks for this, I also tripped up on this issue. I was about to prep
and send a pull-request to update the docs for this, but wondered if
there's any point if this issue will be ironed out by the next release
anyway?

it says you have a YAML syntax error, so this is not an Ansible
thing per se.
If you need to pass a reference you must still do it like this, and
this is the only reason to ever do this.
instance_ids: ${some_list}
This will be going away in a future release once I bang on things
a bit.
As for the YAML Syntax error, there's some code to provide
suggestions in 1.4, but it seems it was thrown off by the
underscore. Curious.

Hi,
I'm trying to terminate an ec2 instance but I'm getting the
following error:

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
My play looks as follows:
- name: Terminate instance
hosts: localhost
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Terminate instances that were previously launched
local_action:
module: ec2
state: 'absent'
instance_ids: "{{ ec2.instance_ids }}"
region: eu-west-1
The example in the docs does not have quotes around the {{
ec2.instance_ids }} variable but if I omit the quotes then that
errors too:
ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, site.yml
Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line
41, column 24
state: 'absent'
instance_ids: {{ ec2.instance_ids }}
^
Any ideas? I'm running ansible 1.4 from source.
Thanks,
Marc
