Ansible : create a relative symlink

Question

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          


        

Answer 1

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.
