Run into a similar problem documented at <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/5240> and

<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ansible-project/gT2eie6SVuU/MwUd44Eh15sJ>

I’m not sure if this is a personal problem or a regression so I posting here first.

I’m trying to synchronize a local directory, /var/lib/projects/convert_station_software, to several user’s local home directories.

I am using vagrant for testing.

$ ansible --version

Google shows me something similar to this has shown up before (vagrant vs synchronize module).

The question is why ssh at all? Why not some like “rsync -av /var/lib/projects/convert_station_software /home/user1”?

Am I missing something simple?

GitHub Code seems to indicate I have the correct play.

Synchronize two directories on one remote host.

synchronize:
src: /first/absolute/path
dest: /second/absolute/path
delegate_to: “{{ inventory_hostname }}”
