Ansible problem

[verdurin]

Hello

I've just tried this, with a local Ansible version of 2.0.0.2 and I see this error at startup:

TASK [nginx : Install the nginx packages] **************************************
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Using bare variables for environment is deprecated.
Update your playbooks so that the environment value uses the full variable
syntax ('{{foo}}'). This feature will be removed in a future release.
Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in
ansible.cfg.
fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "ERROR! environment must be a dictionary, received nginx_env (<class 'ansible.parsing.yaml.objects.AnsibleUnicode'>)"}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
default                    : ok=3    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

I had the same issue and I fixed it with the following patch:
