Hey all,

I'm trying to unzip a file into a directory relative to the home directory 
on a host server. The problem is that when Ansible runs the unarchive 
module, it replaces the tilde in the variable with master server's home 
directory instead of the host server's. The file module correctly creates 
the directory on the host server. Here's the playbook I'm using

- hosts: myhost
  vars:
    mydir: "~/folder1/folder2/"
  user: myuser
  tasks:
  - name: Ensure the parent directory is present
    file: >
      path={{ mydir }}
      state=directory
  - name: Unzip the file into the host
    unarchive: >
      src=/ansible/archive/file.zip
      dest={{ mydir }}

Is there some argument I can give to unarchive so that it tries to unzip 
into the right directory? I've tried setting the HOME environment variable 
to the correct home directory on the host, but that does not make a 
difference.

Thanks,
Chip
