while trying to setup a remote machine using ansible, I am running into the following issue:
FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "sudo: a password is required\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

I am already escalating privileges in the playbook using the following method:
  become: yes
  become_method: community.general.sudosu 

two of the tasks are successfully being executed with escalated privileges as well.
i am running into this error when I run the following task:
    - name: Pushing Nebula configs to node
      synchronize: 
        src: 
        dest: "/etc//"
        dest_port: "{{ ssh_port }}"
        mode: push
      delegate_to: localhost

the  user I am using does not require a sudo password.
