This has not worked since Ansible 2.5.0. I bisected to this commit ca8e4c8.

@samdoran my tests for my module with fetch_url() also are not able to pass because of the same error:

To work around the issue you can pass _ansible_tmpdir in your args.json:

{
  "ANSIBLE_MODULE_ARGS": {
    "foo": "bar",
    "_ansible_tmpdir": "/tmp"
  }
}
