unable to use a remote node file in uri module

[Vishal Bobade]

Hi, 

below is my task where in the "body" section in the below task - I am currently using a file and it is throwing error (I actually check the location file is present there) when I am trying to run a jenkins job. 

 [1;35m[WARNING]: Unable to find 'include/Browsers-CollectionDB.json' in expected paths (use [0m

 [1;35m-vvvvv to see paths) [0m
 [1;35m [0m
 [0;31mfatal: [10.181.56.199]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'file'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: could not locate file in lookup: 'include/Browsers-CollectionDB.json'"} [0

However when I try to actually paste data from the file and specify it in "body :" it works.

 

            body: "{{ lookup('file','include/Browsers-CollectionDB.json') }}"

- name: Populating browsers collection
        uri:
            url: "http://{{groups['default'][0]}}:8529/_db/collectionDB/_api/document/browsers"
            HEADER_Content-Type: "application-type: json"
            body: "{{ lookup('file','include/Browsers-CollectionDB.json') }}"
            user: "{{ARANGODB_USER}}"
            password: "{{ARANGODB_PASS}}"
            method: POST
            force_basic_auth: yes
            status_code: 200

1. The file is looked up on the controller, not on the target.

2. There is nothing wrong with following the advice above (-vvvvv to see paths).
