How can I create a Kubernetes Secret with Ansible?

Question

I'm using an Ansible JMeter Operator to do distributed load testing and am having trouble with creating a Kubernetes secret. The operator I'm modifying is the JMeter one and the additional YAML I'm adding is as below:

- name: InfluxDB Storage Secret
  k8s:
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    type: Opaque
    metadata:
      name: azure-storage-account-infxluxdb-secret
      namespace: '{{ meta.namespace }}'
    stringData:
      azurestorageaccountname: 'xxxxxxx'
      azurestorageaccountkey: 'xxxxxxxxxxx'

Is there anything wrong with the YAML definition? I'm modifying the roles/jmeter/tasks/main.yaml of the role to add it into my specific namespace.

Here is my example, that works for me, hope it help.

  - name: CREATE MONGOSECRETS SECRET
    kubernetes.core.k8s:
      state: present
      definition: 
        apiVersion: v1
        kind: Secret
        type: Opaque             
        metadata:
          name: "{{ secret_name }}"
          namespace: "{{ project_name | lower }}"     
        data:
          config_data.json: "{{ lookup('template', mongo_conn_templates_path + '/config_data.json' ) | tojson | b64encode }}"
