[SOLVED] Set ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1 in ansible module

I don't know if this topic is appropriate for this forum or not, so please move it another forum if it needs to.

I'm trying to contribute a new action to ansible-collections/community.general (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ … l/pull/700), it shuts down the remote server.

As ansible tries to remove temp files after executing the module and the server is not running, it always gives an error (cannot connect to server).

It can be verified that

export ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES=1

fixes the issue and the module runs correctly.

But of course user cannot always set this in his configurations.

Is there a way to tell the module not to keep remote files always?

This got fixed in https://github.com/ansible-collections/ … 1cb4e4fc91.

Cleaning up temp files just before executing shutdown command.
