uri module not honoring src path

Hello all, I am trying to upload a file using the uri module as follows. It appears as if the src path is being modified before the file is uploaded. NOTE: I have changed host names and user names in this message.

Example Task:

  • name: “URI: Upload file to Nexus”
    uri:
    validate_certs: no
    url: “{{ NexusRepositoryUploadUrl }}/repository/LOB/LOB-Environments/{{ environmentName }}/0.0.1/{{ environmentName }}.custom.properties”
    method: “PUT”
    status_code:
  • 201
  • 200
    src: “{{ playbook_dir }}/files/{{ environmentName }}.custom.properties”
    force_basic_auth: yes
    url_username: “{{ NexusRepositoryUploadUsername }}”
    url_password: “{{ (( lookup(‘tss’, NexusRepositoryUploadUsername) | from_json).get(‘items’) | items2dict(key_name=‘slug’, value_name=‘itemValue’))[‘password’] }}”
    delegate_to: localhost
    run_once: yes

Debug Output:

}

You will notice that the src parameter in the task has /files/ before the actual file name, but the src paramter displayed in the debug is missing the /files/ portion of the path.

Task: = src: “{{ playbook_dir }}/files/{{ environmentName }}.custom.properties”
Debug = “src”: “/home/mylogin/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1630512343.7974522-125506191122975/test.custom.properties”

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
