ansible script module fails in ansible 2.3.1

[anil kumar]

Hello,

I am running powershell script using script module on ansible core 2.3.1.0. But it works on older version ansible core 2.2. Is this a bug in ansible 2.3 and higher version, any fixes or any workarounds would be appreciated.

=============================================
- hosts: win
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
   - script: files/crtObjGp.ps1 {{vm_name}}
  tags: crtObj

===============================================

 ansible-playbook -i inventory win.yml --tags crtObj --extra-var "vm_name=coretest"
