Here's my Ansible playbook:

-   name: Node package manager
    npm:
        name: pm2
        global: yes
    notify:
        - restart nginx

-   name: start the app
    script: ../files/common/pm2.sh app_name {{ user }}
    tags: test

and here's the script file:

#!/bin/bash
APP_NAME=$1
USER=$2

if [ "$USER" != "" ]; then
    PATH="/home/$USER/"
else
    PATH="/var/www/"
fi

pm2 describe ${APP_NAME} > /dev/null       # line no 11
RUNNING=$?

if [ "${RUNNING}" -ne 0 ]; then
  cd ${PATH}${APP_NAME}/ && pm2 start npm --name "${APP_NAME}" -- start
else
  pm2 restart ${APP_NAME}
fi;

But when I try to run pm2 command on the remote machine, it works, but if I do the same using ansible script this comes up

Error:

fatal: [webserver]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "failed": true, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "stderr": "Shared connection to xx.xx.xx.xx closed.\r\n", "stdout": "/home/ronak/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1510939424.06-225768915266978/pm2.sh: line 11: pm2: command not found\r\n127\r\n", "stdout_lines": ["/home/ronak/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1510939424.06-225768915266978/pm2.sh: line 11: pm2: command not found", "127"]}

You've been overwriting PATH env variable in your script file. Use a different variable name for PATH in your script file and also use absolute paths for commands

Use some other variable instead of PATH.
