I am installing ufw on a fresh Ubutunu 18.04 install. However it doesn't seem to be found in paths. I don't understand the issue

- name: test
      apt:
        name: ufw
        state: latest


 - name: "Configure ufw policy"
      ufw:
        policy: "allow"
        direction: "incoming

The error

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to find required executable ufw in paths: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"}

So this seems to have happened because I was running the playbook with the --check flag. When I run the playbook 'live' on the server this is no longer an issue.

I'm not sure why this was an issue since the ufw package was already installed on the remote server..
