Will Thames dce445f956 Improve error message for module validation (#19501 ) Print out the data that fails to validate when doing schema checking on modules This allows easier interpretation of error messages. From: ``` ERROR: DOCUMENTATION.notes.2: expected basestring ``` To: ``` ERROR: DOCUMENTATION.notes.2: expected basestring @ data['notes'][2]. Got {"As with C(include) this task can be static or dynamic, If static it implies that it won't need templating nor loops nor conditionals and will show included tasks in the --list options. Ansible will try to autodetect what is needed, but you can set `static": 'yes\|no` at task level to control this.'} ```		2016-12-19 08:49:18 +00:00
