Issue Type:

Bug Report

Ansible Version:

ansible 1.7 (devel c93b89f)

Environment:

Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04

Summary:

Previously working multiline tasks stopped working

Steps To Reproduce:

In a play:

    - name: Set timezone variables
      copy: |
            content='America/New_York
            '
            dest=/tmp/timezone
Expected Results:

timezone file gets updated

Actual Results:
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true}                                                                                                                                    
msg: src (or content) and dest are required                                                                                                                                

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- Aborting

changing the | to a > makes it work again, but this code had been working for a looong time (I'll run bisect when i have time to see what caused the issue)

Thanks for the report.

Please don't bother with the bisect, various parser changes have been required for security fixes. It seems the ">" is the proper answer but we can explore this one.
