'str' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

[cawilliamson]

Hey there!

This is possibly just me using the module wrong here but I am having the following error when I try and use anything other than a single value:

'str' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

A chunk of code which produces this in Ansible is:

- name: sort finder icons by name
  plist_file:
    dest: com.apple.finder
    value:
      'StandardViewSettings':
        'IconViewSettings':
          'arrangeBy': 'Name'

Any ideas here? I'm thinking somehow the value input is being interpreted by the python script as a single string instead of ending up as a dict.

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for reporting. I could reproduce this error. The last time I used this module is already some time ago. This seems to be a change in Ansible 2.1. If I find time I will look into it deeper.
