Ansible failed to transfer file to Provision a Vagrant VM with Ansible on Windows/Cygwin

I am running vagrant VM with ansible on Windows cygwin. I started to get the following errors

PLAY [Setup Elasticsearch] ****************************************************
GATHERING FACTS *************************************************************** 
fatal: [127.0.0.1] => failed to transfer file to /home/user/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1454075801.6-225353733730018/setup

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

I have added already the following code into ansible.cfg but it didn't help

[ssh_connection]
scp_if_ssh=True

[ssh_connection]
control_path = /tmp

Each time it fail to create file in the following folder C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\home\user.ansible\tmp. However permission is set to full control for everyone Any ideas would be much appreciated

I have found a solution. It is better to run ansible playbook on the guest host instead of running it on master host. To make it work use "ansible_local" provision. For example,

frontend.vm.provision "ansible_local" do |ansible| ansible.playbook = "ansible/frontend.yml" end It will download and install ansible on guest host machine and there is no need to install ansible via cygwin
