HI All,

I have created deployment playbook on the build server under user deploy: **/home/deploy/playbooks/deploy.yml**. And when I am running the playbook from the build server itself :

**ansible-playbook deploy.yml** and it runs perfectly fine. The file gets deployed on the aap server.

However I am trying to execute the playbook through Jenkins and I am using Jenkins Ansible plugin, it is always giving me **ERROR! the playbook: /home/deploy/playbooks/deploy.yml**  **could not be found,** I have been struggling with this from so long now, but no luck. I have even tried execute the ansible playbook using shell script through jenkins but still keep on getting the same issue.

PS: I have created a deploy user on both the server build and app server app and both can communicate without password as I have installed ssh keys on both of the servers.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated…

Thanks and Regards,

Ricky

Might be a silly question, but are you sure you're running that job on  
the master and not some random slave?
