How do you set the path variable?

I’m trying to set the path variable in ansible

  • name: Export env variables
    shell: export PATH=“PATH=/b/local/bin:/b/bin:$PATH”

  • shell: echo $PATH
    register: foo

  • debug: msg=“the echo was {{ foo.stdout }}”

But when I echo the path, it doesn’t contain the paths I appended. Is there a way I can set the path variable for the execution of the yaml file?
