[ansible-project] roles/files - remote copy configuration

[Abhishek R.]

Hi,

My ansible project has a role with a shell script (say,
transferTempScript.sh) in the <role_name>/files subdirectory. The playbook
has become:yes and a become sudo user specified. When running the playbook,
I get an error stating - *transferTempScript.sh: command not found*.

I tracked it down to the manner in which ansible copied the script file
over to the remote node. Following is the console output related to it -

<host> EXEC sshpass -d15 ssh -C -tt -v -o ControlMaster=auto -o
ControlPersist=60s -o
ControlPath="/tmp/ansible_tower_1_1P9q/cp/ansible-ssh-%h-%p-%r" -o
StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no -o
PubkeyAuthentication=no -o User=c1340941 -o ConnectTimeout=10 host /bin/sh
-c 'mkdir -p /tmp/ansible-tmp-1437708704.47-93756423468950 && chmod a+rx
/tmp/ansible-tmp-1437708704.47-93756423468950 && echo
/tmp/ansible-tmp-1437708704.47-93756423468950'
<host> PUT */var/lib/awx/projects/transferTemp/roles/transfer_role/files/transferTempScript.sh
TO transferTempScript.sh*

The shell is being copied over to the user's home directory, rather than in
the /tmp/ansible... directory being created upon ssh in the first line.
What could be causing this and where can I modify its configuration? I've
already looked up the /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg and it appears fine. There
are no other overriding configurations.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Regards
