module: script
version_added: "0.9"
short_description: Runs a local script on a remote node after transferring it
description:
  - The M(ansible.builtin.script) module takes the script name followed by a list of space-delimited arguments.
  - Either a free-form command or O(cmd) parameter is required, see the examples.
  - The local script at the path will be transferred to the remote node and then executed.
  - The given script will be processed through the shell environment on the remote node.
  - This module does not require Python on the remote system, much like the M(ansible.builtin.raw) module.
  - This module is also supported for Windows targets.
options:
  free_form:
    description:
      - Path to the local script file followed by optional arguments.
    type: str
  cmd:
    type: str
    description:
      - Path to the local script to run followed by optional arguments.
  creates:
    description:
      - A filename on the remote node, when it already exists, this step will B(not) be run.
    version_added: "1.5"
    type: str
  removes:
    description:
      - A filename on the remote node, when it does not exist, this step will B(not) be run.
    version_added: "1.5"
    type: str
  chdir:
    description:
      - Change into this directory on the remote node before running the script.
    version_added: "2.4"
    type: str
  executable:
    description:
      - Name or path of an executable to invoke the script with.
    version_added: "2.6"
    type: str
notes:
  - It is usually preferable to write Ansible modules rather than pushing scripts. Convert your script to an Ansible module for bonus points!
  - The P(ansible.builtin.ssh#connection) connection plugin will force pseudo-tty allocation via C(-tt) when scripts are executed.
    Pseudo-ttys do not have a stderr channel and all stderr is sent to stdout. If you depend on separated stdout and stderr result keys,
    please switch to a set of tasks that comprises M(ansible.builtin.copy) with M(ansible.builtin.command) instead of using M(ansible.builtin.script).
  - If the path to the local script contains spaces, it needs to be quoted.
  - This module is also supported for Windows targets.
  - If the script returns non-UTF-8 data, it must be encoded to avoid issues. One option is to pipe
    the output through C(base64).

attributes:
    check_mode:
