# This playbook prints a simple debug message
- name: Echo 
  hosts: 127.0.0.1
  connection: local

  tasks:
  - name: Print debug message
    debug:

If you're just copying and pasting this task, make sure that the - name: ... lines-up with rest of your tasks.

Correct spacing:

  tasks:
    - name: Print debug message
      debug:
