This won't work for you?

$ sudo bash -c 'source /etc/lsb-release; echo $DISTRIB_CODENAME'
focal

Exactly. which source gives nothing.

If I run the command at non-elevated level I get useful results and the environment is filled

source /etc/lsb-release

echo $DISTRIB_CODENAME

bionic


sudo source /etc/lsb-release

[sudo] password for ubuntu:

sudo: source: command not found


So it is a matter of elevated access level, but I just don't know how to run that at lower level...

    source is a bash built-in command. There is no executable. You can
    try "bash -c 'source /etc/lsb-release' "

    Hi,

    I'm banging my head trying to make this simple statement work:

    - name: Get Ubuntu version definitions
      ansible.builtin.shell: source /etc/lsb-release

    But whatever I do I get this:

    TASK [Get Ubuntu version definitions]
    
****************************************************************************************************************

    fatal: [server1]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "source
    /etc/lsb-release", "delta": "0:00:00.002579", "end": "2021-09-27
    17:02:32.565396", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 127,
    "start": "2021-09-27 17:02:32.562817", "stderr": "/bin/sh: 1:
    source: not found", "stderr_lines": ["/bin/sh: 1: source: not
    found"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}


    This is most likely because I run at elevated permissions.

    What can I do in order to make this work?

    TIA
