Thanks Racke.
Sorry it was my typo. Pls see my app.yml:
- name: 'Copy {{ instance_name }} file to /opt/conf.d/ Directory'
template:
src: "{{ instance_name }}.conf.j2"
dest: "/opt/{{ instance_name }}/conf.d/"
owner: root
group: root
mode: 0644
In defaults main.yml defined vaiable as
instance_name: 'app1'
Please see the error I am getting:
TASK [test : Copy app1 file to /opt/conf.d/ Directory]
*****************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [target1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Could not find or

to exist on the remote, see the remote_src option"}
PLAY RECAP

Can you please help me on this.
