In the form in the Create Ansible project tab, enter the following:
Destination directory: Enter the path to the directory where you want to scaffold your new playbook project.

Forceoption.-
If you are using the containerized version of Ansible Dev tools, the destination directory path is relative to the container, not a path in your local system. To discover the current directory name in the container, run the
pwdcommand in a terminal in VS Code. If the current directory in the container isworkspaces, enterworkspaces/<destination_directory_name>. -
