sudo_exe deprecated in 2.8 use become_exe

Good day,

I have an alternate location for my sudo command for root. When I set the path in ansible.cfg my command executes correctly however I get the warning listed below. I changed this path in ansible.cfg using sudo_exe.

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: DEFAULT_SUDO_EXE option, In favor of Ansible Become, which is a generic framework. See become_exe. , use become instead. This feature will be removed in version 2.8. Deprecation warnings can be
disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

However there isn’t any documentation related to become_exe. Do I just replace my alternate path in my plays?

Thanks,

Chris

Brilliant. I don’t know how I missed that in the documentation.

Thank you!
