[SOLVED] Cannot get ansible.builtin.script to find the script

Cannot get ansible.builtin.script to find the script

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?

Solution

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
