Ansible Synchronization Problem

As a part of getting a bunch of nodes ready and configured for our environment, I need to copy a file from already configured node. Let call the already configured node {{ dis_host }} with actual host name pfch3dis99. Here’s my playbook:

- name: MySQL Playbook
hosts: irisprep
vars:
env: “{{ iris_env }}”
mysql_path: /etc/sysconfig/myapp/java_lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.43-bin.jar
vars_files:
- variables.yml
tasks:
- name: Synchronize mysql connector from dis host
synchronize:
mode: pull
src: “{{ mysql_path }}”
dest: “{{ mysql_path }}”
recursive: no
delegate_to: “{{ dis_host }}”
become: yes

Host group irisprep has all the hosts I want to run the playbook on. pfch3calc98 happens to be one of the hosts part of the host group. It keeps giving me a failure. with the following error:

File “/tmp/ansible_ansible.posix.synchronize_payload_H65x9J/ansible_ansible.posix.synchronize_payload.zip/ansible/module_utils/basic.py”, line 2710, in run_command

}
},
“msg”: “[Errno 2] No such file or directory”,

}

I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on. Anyone see something that my eyes are not spotting?

Thanks a lot,
Subhi.

Error says no file . Which means target file is not available and it’s checking in wrong host as you don’t want . Also when you delegate to some host that to be source and copy from there to your play host you have to use some thing like this .

In your output it searches on your play host server

myuser@pfch3calc98:/etc/sysconfig/myapp/java_lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.43-bin.jar",

Use like this .

# Synchronization using rsync protocol on delegate host (pull)
- synchronize:
    mode: pull
    src: rsync://[somehost.com/path/](http://somehost.com/path/)
    dest: /some/absolute/path/
  delegate_to: delegate.host
