Ansible "mapping values are not allowed in this context" Error

Symptom:

 When we try to put 2 logic commands into 1 element, like find and copy, we hit below error
The offending line appears to be:

   - name: copy env profile script to the target
      - find:
            ^ here
exception type: <class 'yaml.scanner.ScannerError'>
exception: mapping values are not allowed in this context


The part of related yaml file are
tasks:
   - name: find and copy  env profile scripts
      - find: 
              paths: /u01/app/ansible/repository
              patterns: 'apex-ext-stg'
        register: file_to_copy
      - copy: src={{ item.path }} dest=/tmp   mode=0775
        with_items: "{{ files_to_copy.files }}" 

 Reason:

"find" and "copy" are 2 different tasks. we need to use block to group them together , or we level it up with "- name"

Solution:

- name: find and copy  env profile scripts
  block:
        - find:
               paths: /u01/app/ansible/repository
               patterns: 'test-ext-stg'
          register: file_to_copy
        - copy: src={{ item.path }} dest=/tmp  mode=0775
          with_items: "{{ files_to_copy.files }}"

or

- name: find and copy  env profile scripts part1
  find:
               paths: /u01/app/ansible/repository
               patterns: 'test-ext-stg'
  register: file_to_copy
- name: find and copy  env profile scripts part2
  copy: src={{ item.path }} dest=/tmp  mode=0775
  with_items: "{{ files_to_copy.files }}"

The worst part of it was that the software only worked intermittently and the data was not accurate. You obviously canot confront anyone about what you have discovered if the information is not right. data science course in mysore
