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
