ansible_distribution is undefined

[danieleperera]

Hey I'm trying to install streamio on

Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

When I ran the following code
ansible-playbook -i inventories/development/hosts.ini phishyme.yml --ask-become-pass --ask-vault-pass
I get this error:
{"msg": "'ansible_distribution' is undefined"}

I also did some research and found this blog post:
https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/989/ansible-linux-distribution-release-discovery-handle-ubuntu-20.04

So it seems that on ubuntu-20.04 ansible_distribution var is no longer available and it is replaced and following variables nested under ansible_lsb could be found to determine the distribution and release.

However, I could not get it to work. Have you got any suggestions? Thanks
