I have a playbook that has the following - name: Place Google Chrome launcher script synchronize: src: “bins/Remote Consult.app” dest: “/Applications/” tags: rc it is failing on this task and the only thing iI have been able to determine the file has a space in it. if I run it from ansible it works just fine doe anyone know how I can structure src: “bins/Remote Consult.app” so that when i run the template that calls the playbook from AWX it will copy the directory over to teh client being configured? Thank you in advance Frank ---

Hi, Can you please provide information about your setup? i.e. AWX and awx operator versions. Are you using a custom EE? > it is failing on this task what does the stdout say for this failed task? Thanks AWX Team ---

I see, yeah seems like it’s related to the space in the src file name. This question may be better suited for the Ansible group [https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project](https://groups.google.com/g/ansible-project) , so I’d recommend also posting there AWX Team ---

I do not have this issue if I run it from ansible cli, I am seeing this in the AWX template running the same playbook
