win_comand / win_shell : The system cannot find the file specified

Hi,
I am currently just trying stuff on the command line, I will do the playbook later.
Ansible 2.2.1.0 on centos7.
Trying to run a command on a windows 10 PC.

ansible mesh -u user -k -m win_ping
SSH password:
mesh | SUCCESS => {
“changed”: false,
“ping”: “pong”
}

So that works. But if I run

ansible mesh -u user -k -m win_command -a ‘ng build chdir=C:\Temp\angularjs_example\angular2\heroes_new’
SSH password:
mesh | FAILED | rc=2 >>
The system cannot find the file specified

or

ansible mesh -u user -k -m win_shell -a “ng build chdir=C:\Temp\angularjs_example\angular2\heroes_new”
SSH password:
mesh | FAILED | rc=267 >>
The directory name is invalid

Now the folder does exist. I have tried with escaping backslashes, in double quotes, with forward quotes. All with the same result.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Regards

Try double backslashes in the windows style path names - these are usually needed when double quoting module parameters.

Hope this helps,

Jon

Hi Jon,
ansible mesh -u user -k -m win_shell -a “ng build chdir=C:\Temp\angularjs_example\angular2\heroes_new”
SSH password:
mesh | FAILED | rc=267 >>
The directory name is invalid

But strangely, this does work
ansible mesh -u user-k -m win_shell -a “dir chdir=C:\Temp”
SSH password:
mesh | SUCCESS | rc=0 >>

Directory: C:\Temp

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

So then tried
ansible mesh -u user -k -m win_shell -a “ng build chdir=C:\Temp\\angularjs_example\\angular2\\heroes_new”
SSH password:
mesh | FAILED | rc=1 >>

And that does work. The error is a current problem in angular 2 …

Many thanks for your help.
