Ansible - using "include" and "include_tasks" modules

Question

I've downloaded the docker role and when I'm running the role i get the following error:

The error appears to have been in '/some_folder/geerlingguy.docker/tasks/main.yml': line 2, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
- include_tasks: setup-RedHat.yml
  ^ here

and when I replace the module include_task module with the include module everything works as expected.

what is causing this issue?

If you are using Ansible version lower to 2.4 then it can be expected as include_task was introduced in Ansible 2.4 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.4/include_tasks_module.html
