Ansible refer to another directory

I have the following structure:

And my playbook.yml is inside playbooks folder:

  - name: "Write variable to file"
  vars:
    db_password: "{{ db_pass }}"
  template:
    src: templates/test.yml.j2
    dest: files/test.yml

But I cannot make it work, the error is : "msg": "Could not find or access 'templates/test.yml.j2' "msg": "Could not find or access 'templates/test.yml.j2'

How can I make my src and dest refer to files that are not in the same folder as playbook?

The files and templates folder isn't in the playbook directory, so you need to reference it like this:

  template:
    src: ../templates/test.yml.j2
    dest: ../files/test.yml

If I am mistaken, please send a better description of your folder structure.
