Ansible task not starting go-agent service (gocd)

Question

I can start go-agent service manually by running:

service go-agent start

I want to start go-agent service using ansible and it is not starting.

not starting using:

- name: start go-agent service
  systemd:
    name: go-agent
    enabled: yes
    state: started
    daemon_reload: yes
    masked: no

not starting using:

- name: start go-agent service
  service:
    name: go-agent
    enabled: yes
    state: started

inside /etc/systemd/system I have go-agent.service file.

[root@server]# cat go-agent.service
[Unit]
Description=go-agent
After=syslog.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/bin/env /var/go/go-agent.sh
User=go
KillMode=control-group
Environment=SYSTEMD_KILLMODE_WARNING=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and

[root@server]# cat /var/go/go-agent.sh
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/default/go-agent
cd /var/lib/go-agent

# Get installed java version
VER=$(rpm -q --queryformat "%{VERSION}" java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64)

# Find the location of the installed java binary
JAVA=$(find /usr/lib/jvm -mount -name jre-1.8.0-openjdk-$VER*)/bin/java

If I start it manually:

[root@server]# service go-agent start
Started Go Agent.

Why not just use the shell module if you just want to start and it is working with ' service go-agent start' ?
