Ansible not able to create symlink - linux

Question

I'm trying to create a symlink and I'm not able to solve this error . Please suggest me a solution on how to solve this error
Code: Creating a symlink for /usr/local/bin/terraform-env/bin/* in folder /usr/local/bin
I tried with /usr/local/bin/ (with and without slash)
- name: Move tfenv file:
src: "/usr/local/bin/terraform-env/bin/{{ item.src }}"
dest: "/usr/local/bin/"
state: link
owner: root
group: root
mode: 755
force: yes
with_items:
- src: terraform
- src: tfenv

Using ansible 2.8.3

Answer 1

the directory /usr/local/bin/ is not empty, refusing to convert it
You are trying to create the symlink directly on the existing directory rather than creating an entry inside that dir to support the symlink. The following corrected task should get you going:
- name: Move tfenv file:
src: "/usr/local/bin/terraform-env/bin/{{ item.src }}"
dest: "/usr/local/bin/{{ item.src }}"
state: link
owner: root
group: root
mode: 755
force: yes
with_items:
- src: terraform
- src: tfenv
