Hello,
I am trying to use the copy module to do a simple copy; but I am getting an
error that has me puzzled:
Error that I get:
AnsibleFileNotFound: Could not find or access
'/root/Downloads/example.desktop'
I have checked permissions, and that doesn't seem to be an issue, so to do
some testing I tried the exact same parameters for the standard cp command.
YML file:
---
- name: Ansible testing tasks
hosts: 'test_servers'
tasks:
- name: Copying DIAMD desktop
shell: cp /root/Downloads/DIAMD.desktop
/etc/skel/Desktop/DIAMD.desktop
# This one works#
- name: creating desktop icons
copy:
src: /root/Downloads/example.desktop
dest: /etc/skel/Desktop/example.desktop
#this one doesn't work#

The full traceback is:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {

}
I would believe that if the standard cp command worked, then the copy
module would also be able to find the command.
#note, I am running command as root,
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Colin
