Hii I don't know what system this is producing, it seems some Java code? In any case, if I assume that your Java code eventually runs ansible, then the error is clear: there is no such file or directory where ansible expects it. Note: this seems to happen sometimes because ansible is not run manually, but by some machine, which may run some container or other abstraction device internally, and that final ansible execution environment does not have that file/directory. In short, if you state "actually the file is present", that may be correct, but it may be on a different system than where (you think) ansible runs. Since you haven't shared any playbook, it's hard to tell what goes on. So, start by sharing your playbook. ---

Check the permissions on the file. ---

Hi Dick Visser, This issue was not ansible related. It was due to some internal project related configuration issue. The package url was incorrect so ansible was not able to download the package and hence the file was missing. Regards, Ankit Daruka ---

Perhaps check your pathnames?
