I am trying to run a script as part of a role. The script is located within the role folder, but ansible complains that it cannot find it when I try to use the role.
This is my folder setup:
my-project/
- ansible/
- roles/
-install-docker/
- files/
- install-docker.sh
- meta/
- main.yml
- tasks/
- main.yml
- gate
- ansible
- docker-setup.yml
- ansible.cfg
This is the role tasks/main.yml:
---
- name: Install docker and docker compose
ansible.builtin.script: "{{ role_path }}/files/install-docker.sh"
args:
creates: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
And the docker-setup.yml playbook in gate is trying to use it:
---
- name: Install docker
hosts: some-host
vars:
root_dir: /home/foo
roles:
- install-docker
Here is my ansible.cfg
[defaults]
INVENTORY = local_vagrant
roles_path = ./ansible/roles
[ssh_connection]
pipelining = true
This is how I run the playbook and the error output:
(.venv) foo@foo:~$ cd my-project
(.venv) foo@foo:~/my-project$ ansible-playbook gate/ansible/docker-setup.yml -i production

What am I doing wrong?
That error message is not very helpful. The cause was an error in the shebang and fixing it resolves it:
install-docker.sh
-#!bin/bash
+#!/bin/bash
