I have a powershell script which takes multiple user inputs for file ex.- "C:\temp\foo.ps1", then it runs. I am trying to integrate that script with Ansible using win_shell module. How can I pass the user inputs for the powershell script :-
- name: windows test command
win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
args:
stdin: C:\temp\test3.csv
Script(powershell):-
$CONumber = Read-Host "Enter the CO Number"
SO this takes input from user, how can I edit this using vars_prompt variable?

To pass the content of your test3.csv as an input for your script, here is a way to do that :
- name: windows test command
win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
args:
stdin: "{{ lookup('file', C:\temp\test3.csv) }}"
To pass the content of vars prompted to the user from the playbook, you can do like this :
#playbook_snapshot.yml
- hosts: "my_host"
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
# co_number will be set to user input, and available in your role
- name: co_number
prompt: "Enter the CO Number"
- name: other_value
prompt: "Enter what is needed"
role:
- { role: wintest }
#role wintest
- name: windows test command
win_shell: C:\temp\Snapshots.ps1
args:
stdin: "{{ co_number}}\n
{{ other_value }}"
