synchronize module and delegate_to: seems to not respect become_user ansible 2.3.1.0

Hi All

ansible 2.3.1.0

seems to not respect the become_user in the following play.

#note that this below jams up because it expects accounts and ssh keys as it uses rsync underwater. Figure that out then remove this comment

  • name: copy dump to remote
    become: false
    become_user: fresh-dbs
    synchronize:
    mode: push
    src: “{{ hostvars[‘192.168.56.100’].dbdump.stat.path }}”
    dest: /tmp/restore.sql
    delegate_to: 192.168.56.100
    tags: rsync
    My expectation on the above is that on the delegate host, the rsync job should trigger as the user ‘fresh-dbs’ (which is created and key’d earlier in the play
    and can login to the target.

What really happens is that it just runs as my ansible control user and fails out.

Anyone know how to elegantly deal with this? I want to copy a file from one host to another without using the control machine.

To use become_user you need to set become: true

Ah, bad paste job on that one I've been experimenting with every different combination. Become is set to try and the result is the same. Doesn't work
