ansible-playbook -v -i ../../inventory/hosts -c paramiko -M ../../library/ setup.yml 
ERROR: ufw is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler

but the library definitely exists:

ls -l ../../library/
total 32
-rw-r--r--@ 1 jmartin  staff  2734 Jul 24 09:50 bashobench
-rw-r--r--  1 jmartin  staff  4325 May 13 12:40 riakcs_creds
-rw-r--r--  1 jmartin  staff  2567 May 13 12:40 ufw

The only way around it for me is to make a symlink to library -> ../../library in the playbook dir.

Tested this also, -M does seem to work for ansible and ansible-doc, but
fails with ansible-playbook

This is not an issue about -M but rather about how short name detection is used.

It's been a thing for a while actually, but yes, it should be fixed up.

workaround is:

action: modulename ..

@stoned
Add extra module path early during playbook parsing.

This should fix issue #3668

Also prevent an extra module path to be added multiple times.
