Is `rvm` in your PATH ? Also, what’s in `~/.rvm/scripts/rvm` ?

On a more general note, remember each task is running in its own subshell, so what you sourced on a previous task wont be available on the next one. So assuming the file you sourced enable you to run rvm commands, you could try to add your `rvm install` command on the same task you sourced your file (or running your commands from a script at this point).

Also assuming the file you sourced only contains contains envvars, a cleaner way to do it would be to use [environment keyword](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playbooks_environment.html) on your task, perhaps using [file lookup plugin](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/file_lookup.html) to populate envvars.
