I am trying to copy a few files from remote host to pods running.

This command works when directly ran on remote host.

kubectl cp /etc/passwd bus-service/ssh-jumphost-6954f877bf-p5fmq:/etc/passwd_test

But when using Ansible shell or command module I ran into this error.

But when using Ansible

    - name: Copy commands
      shell: "kubectl cp {{ item }} baas-service/{{ jumphost.stdout_lines }}:{{ item }}"
      with_items:
        - { '/etc/master.passwd' }
        - { '/etc/passwd' }
        - { '/etc/group' }

I get an error.
