Assemble module - local src file not found

[Arthur Francis]

Hi All,

I am experimenting with the Assemble module to join two files together but not having much luck:

---
- hosts: testhosts2
  sudo: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Test Task
      assemble: src=common/new.file
                dest=/etc/test.file
                remote_src=false

I added the remote_src=false after reading some suggestions in various forums but it still not working. Both files definitely exist. Its strange because other modules work fine with the local src and remote dest parameters like "copy"

Output with remote_source=false

An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:
