Hi,

When I provison a VM with Ansible I get this output:


and falls back on the compatibility mode '1.8'.

Alternatively, the compatibility mode can be specified in your Vagrantfile:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/provisioning/ansible_common.html#compatibility_mode

---- cut here ----

Such compatibility mode triggers later errors that are not part of this report.

There is an issue with the quoting of the in-line Python script that
is already fixed in the upstream repo, see PR [0]. I'll provide a patch
for your convenience.

It would be great to have this fixed before the release or at least in
a later update.

Thanks,
Dom
