Can't add PPA on debian

[thefinn93]

msg: Invalid repository string: ppa:chris-lea/redis-server when running install-redis | Add Repository against a Debian 8.2 host.

[v0y]

+1 Linux Mint

workaround/fix: set var redis_ppa, empty worked for me

[francisdb]

Ubuntu 16.04

this is the output for ansible

TASK [Stouts.redis : redis-install | Add repository] ***************************
fatal: [myhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "The conditional check 'redis_ppa' failed. The error was: expected token 'end of statement block', got 'chris'\n  line 1\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/etc/ansible/roles/Stouts.redis/tasks/install.deb.yml': line 3, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: redis-install | Add repository\n  ^ here\n"}

adding the redis_ppa empty var indeed fixes the error but the ppa is not set up any longer

hmm, after another run without the empty redis_ppa it now installs redis from source
