File location path not working in ansible-navigator vs ansible-playbook

We are testing out current playbooks we have developed with ansible-playbook and are having issues when defining a file path location in our include_vars: section of the playbook

e.g this works in ansible-navigator but we get the error path not found in ansible-navigator. We get this error when running in an ee or against ansible engine in navigator.

  • name: include vars
    include_vars:
    file: …/sds.yml
    name: appconfig

Can anyone clarify what navigator is doing differently to cause this error?

Thanks
