Whenever i am writing any playbook, I am getting below error.

Playbook:-

---
- name: Get device uptime
  hosts:
   - dc1
  roles:
   - Juniper.junos
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no

  vars_prompt:
    - name: username
      prompt: Junos Username
      private: no

    - name: password
      prompt: Junos Password
      private: yes

  tasks:
  - name: get uptime using galaxy module
    junos_command:
      commands: show system uptime
    register: uptime

  - name: display uptimes
    debug: var=uptime

Error:-

PLAY [Get device uptime] **************************************************************************************************************

TASK [get uptime using galaxy module] *************************************************************************************************
fatal: [172.16.130.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "invalid rpc for running in check_mode"}

I was just exploring ansible networking commands & got above error.Please suggest what configurations required working with junos.
