sshfs is not mounting the directory using ansible playbook - ansible

Question

I wrote sshfs ansible playbook to mount remote directory from server.
When i am executing the same command manually on shell it is working(remote directory contents are seen). But when i am trying with ansible playbook, the remote directory is not mounting as expected.
user_allow_other -> Added this line /etc/fuse.conf
Added the below lines: /etc/ssh/ssh_config
SendEnv LANG LC_*
HashKnownHosts yes
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
GSSAPIDelegateCredentials no
StrictHostKeyChecking no
With out these addition also, running manually it is working.
But ansible playbook it is not mounting the remote directory, but showing as playbook successful.
**fuse.yml**

The sshfs action is performed on remote instead of locally. The reason why it is working manually because the sshs login action is performed on the local shell not on remote server. I modified your playbook by adding local_action. I have tested the same and it is working fine.

- hosts: server
become: yes
tasks:
- name: Mount Media Directory
local_action: shell echo root123 | sshfs -o password_stdin,reconnect,nonempty,allow_other,idmap=user stack#10.1.1.1:/home/stack /mnt/server1
