Hello,

I created a job template in AWX and i used this playbook in Jenkins and normal CLI on Putty.

But when i run this job on AWX it is unable to find the directory inside the playbook which actually exist on server with same devops permission as the user devops.

I tested successfully on Jenkins and CLI and its able to run with devops user but AWX is giving me strange error.

**_ERROR while executing a task :_**

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: If you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the remote\_src option

fatal: [**server name**]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Could not find or access ‘/home/devops/ansible/packages/sysprof.sh’ on the Ansible Controller.\nIf you are using a module and expect the file to exist on the remote, see the remote\_src option”}

Actually using copy module .

/home/devops/ansible/packages/sysprof.sh this path exists and no issues as such.

Any other way we need to do that in AWX?

Anyone have any idea for the same
