ERROR Attempting to decrypt but no vault secrets found

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created one vault in Ansible. Now I want to run my Ansible-Playbook, but it is showing me the below error.

$ ansible-playbook mail.yml
ERROR! Attempting to decrypt but no vault secrets found

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

As you are using a vault in your playbook, then you need to pass the vault password. Otherwise, it will give an error. You can use the below command to avoid this error.

$ ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass mail.yml

Now it will ask your vault password and after that, it will run automatically.
