How do I proceed from here? My Ansible skills are a bit rusty.

The "missing" file seems to exist though:

 $ find . -name wpa_supplicant.conf.j2
./ansible/roles/setup_raspberry_access_point/templates/wpa_supplicant.conf.j2

 $ ls -l ./ansible/roles/setup_raspberry_access_point/templates/wpa_supplicant.conf.j2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pang pang 145 jul  9 16:11 ./ansible/roles/setup_raspberry_access_point/templates/wpa_supplicant.conf.j2

$ cat ./ansible/roles/setup_raspberry_access_point/templates/wpa_supplicant.conf.j2
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="{{ ssid_name }}"
        psk="{{ ssid_pass }}"
}

Looking more carefully at the error message, I now see that ansible is looking for the template in ansible/roles/setup_raspberry_repeater and subdirectories. Since the file resides under setup_raspberry_access_point, this might be why the task fails.

I will try a fix later on to see if this hypothesis is valid.

Hi @autarkper, Thanks for raising this up, I've merged the PR. will add extra major changes to align with latest RPI version.

thanks again
