How to create a relative symlink in Ansible?

In my playbook, I need to create a symbolic link for a repo.

With command (shell) it may work like this: ########## Create symbolic link - name: Create symbolic link shell : ln -s "{{SOURCE_FOLDER}}" SYMLINK args : chdir : "/opt/application/i99/" when: - ansible_host in groups['ihm']

-> like this my symbolic link is created directly inside i99 repo /

SYMLINK -> SOURCE_FOLDER

But while doing it with the Ansible file module, like this: ########## Create symbolic link - name: Create symbolic link file: src: "/opt/application/i99/{{SOURCE_FOLDER}}/" dest: "/opt/application/i99/SYMLINK" state: link when: - ansible_host in groups['ihm']

My output is this :

SYMLINK -> /opt/application/i99/SOURCE_FOLDER

As I don't want that it points to the whole path, and I need to obtain the first format:

SYMLINK -> SOURCE_FOLDER

How can I do it?

Simply:

- name: Create symbolic link 
  file:
    src: "{{SOURCE_FOLDER}}"
    dest: "/opt/application/i99/SYMLINK"
    state: link

As you can see in the manual for the file module:

> src 　Will accept absolute, relative and nonexisting paths. Relative paths are not expanded.
