The lookup for ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub is not working :(
According to the docs of Ansible: Lookups are executed with a cwd relative to the role or play, as opposed to local tasks which are executed with the cwd of the executed script.

@numediaweb if the lookup function is not working what is the solution to get it working. please can you update
