I think this has been discussed before. The documentations says:

"If you want to run a command through the shell (say you are using <, >, |, 
etc), you actually want the shell module instead. The command module is 
much more secure as it’s not affected by the user’s environment." 

Implicitly, I read this as if I *do* use the shell command, I should get 
the users environment. Is this assumption wrong?

Now I do this, occasionally, in order to include anything from my user 
profile:
  shell: . ~/.bashrc && env > /tmp/env

The use case I have is to install a mule license, which requires MULE_HOME. 
I could write a two line wrapper, but I'd rather not have more parts than I 
can get away with. I do as follows:
  shell: . ~/.bashrc && ./mule -installLicense {{ mule_user_home 
}}/mule-ee-license.lic chdir={{ mule_home }}/bin
