I have simple task to download file from s3 bucket which works fine with Ansible 2.3, when I have upgraded the ansible from 2.3 to 2.4, it complain that I need to use the aws\_s3 module instead of s3 which I did and getting the following error:

`  
─➤ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml 4 ↵

PLAY [all] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

localhost : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1  
`

Here is my task:  
`

- name: Download the latest version of from S3 bucket  
aws\_s3:  
aws\_access\_key: “xxxxxxxxxxx”  
aws\_secret\_key: “yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”  
bucket: “artifacts-bucket”  
object: “/node/qa/1.0.483/node.tar.gz”  
mode: get  
dest: “node.tar.gz”  
`

Few notes:

- versioning is not enabled on my s3 bucket
- installed the boto3 that is the requirement for aws\_s3 module
- the exact same tasks work fine with ansible 2.3 and did give this error  
`  
“Key /node/qa/1.0.483/node.tar.gz with version id None does not exist.”

`

Any help appreciated

Looks like this was a bug introduced with the move from boto to boto3.

A fix is in progress:

Note that until this is fixed, removing the leading ‘/’ from your object will work.
