I still keep geting this error fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{{ lookup('file', '/home/rke/.ssh/id_rsa.pub')}}'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'file'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: could not locate file in lookup: /home/rke/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"}
