Use synchronize in AAP's job failed

[yalu678]

SUMMARY

I have a job in AAP2.2. It is a ansible.posix.synchronize task. I have two issue.

1. when I use password for accessing the remote server, it stuck in synchronize task like below, it seems waiting for input password.

EXEC /bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/python3.9 /home/runner/.ansible/tmp/ansible-local-215lpmq77v/ansible-tmp-1680144090.506961-49-264296656193385/AnsiballZ_synchronize.py && sleep 0'

2. when I use sshkey for accessing the remote server, it can run the synchronize task, but it failed with below messages

   "msg": { "changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/bin/rsync --delay-updates -F --compress --archive --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -S none -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null' --out-format='<<CHANGED>>%i %n%L' /tmp/a root@:/tmp/b", "failed": true, "msg": "Warning: Permanently added ',xx.xx.xx.xx' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.\r\nrsync: link_stat "/tmp/a" failed: No such file or directory (2)\nrsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1189) [sender=3.1.3]\n", <<<< no the source file /tmp/a(but actually exist in localhost)

My questions:

1. how to solve the case when I use password to access remote server?

2. Is the synchronize task supported in AAP's job? Note: I know in AAP's job, every playbook running in a container, then what the additional configure need in a AAP's template or other?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

use below task in a AAP2.2 template and run.
