Ansible to call the rule using become for Linux, no become for windows

I have below code to call the puppet-agent install role, this works for Linux, but, when I use a Windows machine it is giving error for the become line.

How can I update below code for both Linux and Windows. include become for Linux and exclude become for Windows?

---
- hosts: all
  become: yes
  roles:
    - puppet-agent

Error message

 fatal: [winhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The powershell shell family is
    incompatible with the sudo become plugin"}
Solution

  • What would be worth trying, although I do not have a Windows box at disposal to test it, is to fully omit the become directive if you are on Windows:

    - hosts: all
  gather_facts: yes
  
  roles:
    - role: puppet-agent
      become: "{{ true if ansible_system == 'Linux' else omit }}"
