The following will fail in Ansible 1.5 but *only *when run with --diff:
---
# broken_template_diff.yml
- hosts: all
gather_facts: False
sudo: False
tasks:
- template: src=mytemplate.txt dest=*/tmp* # BROKEN
#- template: src=mytemplate.txt dest=/tmp/ # WORKING
When run with
ansible-playbook -vi local broken_template_diff.yml --diff # I could also
add -C here
this will fail with
fatal: [localhost] => failed to parse: Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1394180980.94-199465317382554/slurp",
line 1144, in <module>
main()
File
"/home/vagrant/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1394180980.94-199465317382554/slurp",
line 67, in main
data = base64.b64encode(file(source).read())
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/tmp'
When run without --diff or after adding the trailing /, it will work.
In this particular case it actually tells me what is the problem but when I
run it with my slightly different production configuration and against
CentOS 5.9 (with an older Python) it is even worse because I get
fatal: [10.0.2.2] => failed to parse:
SUDO-SUCCESS-advisvcbctshnxbofoyvoppteorclbaf
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/ansible-tmp-1394181207.71-130165043237097/slurp", line 1144,
in ?
main()
File "/tmp/ansible-tmp-1394181207.71-130165043237097/slurp", line 67, in
main
data = base64.b64encode(file(source).read())
*IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory*
- notice it does not tell me the name of the path that is directory even
though template+diff does not expect that. So it might seems that it is the
source that is a directory, which is pretty confusing.
SUMMARY
1. --diff should not fail when there is missing the trailing slash in
dest=/path/to/directory (since non-diff does not fail either) or it should
at least provide much better error message
2. Under CentOS 5.9 (<=> Python 2.4) the error message does not contain
the directory's name, which makes it very confusing
Should I open an issue for #1?
Thank you!
