I can successfully fetch a file with an explicit src. However, when I try
to use with_items, I am getting a "remote file does not exist" error.
It doesn't matter whether I use a hard-coded list for with_items or a
variable.
Here is the playbook:
---
- hosts: '{{ hosts }}'
tasks:
- name: List output files
shell: bash -lc "ls -1
/opt/appbin/elasticsearch/support-diagnostics.*.tar.gz"
register: resultfiles
- debug: var=resultfiles
- name: Fetch files
action: fetch src=$item dest=/Users/jpotts/Desktop/diags/ flat=yes
fail_on_missing=yes
with_items:
- "{{ resultfiles.stdout_lines }}"
And here is the output:
(ansible)Metaversant:ansible jpotts$ ansible-playbook runDiagnostics.yml --
extra-vars "hosts=xldwcs01.someco.com"

PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
to retry, use: --limit @/Users/jpotts/runDiagnostics.retry
xldwcs01.someco.com : ok=3 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=1
I have also tried removing the variable by using the following task, which
fails similarly:
- name: Fetch specific file
fetch: src=$item dest=/Users/jpotts/Desktop/diags/ flat=yes
fail_on_missing=yes
with_items:
- /opt/appbin/elasticsearch/support-diagnostics.xldwcs01._local.
20150507-181958.tar.gz
If I use one of the file paths from the debug output as the explicit src,
it works:
- name: Fetch specific file
fetch: src=/opt/appbin/elasticsearch/support-diagnostics.xldwcs01._local
.20150507-181958.tar.gz dest=/Users/jpotts/Desktop/diags/ flat=yes
fail_on_missing=yes
This is Ansible 1.8.2 on Mac OS X.
