roles and "script:" module.

Hi,

According to this documentation of Roles feature
“Any script tasks can reference scripts in roles/x/files/ without having to path them relatively or absolutely”

But this seems to be true only for tasks belonging to that particular role (see my_role_task_call_script in the output below). When I reference a script from the main playbook (which uses the role) I get the following:
fatal: [remote_host] => file or module does not exist: /login/user/ansible/playbook_hello/some_script.sh

Did I misunderstand the feature, it’s a bug or am I doing something wrong? Code and output attached.

Thanks
Kashyap

Hi,

Please don’t attach files to the mailing list.

We’d much prefer linking to things on gist.github.com or elsewhere where they are easily web browseable.

Thanks!
