Hi everyone, I have to copy a file (on the client) to a certain location (also on the client).
I know the copy module, but my problem is the source location. The
filename is always the same, like foo.pem.
- if the directory "/some/dir/{{ ansible_hostname }}" does not exist, I
have to create a new file
- if this directory exists, it may have a subdirectory "in_2016". If
this is the case, I have to take the file foo.pem from here
- if not, there may be a subdirectory "in_2015". If this is the case, I
have to take the file foo.pem from here
... plus several older directories.
A construction "with_first_found:" can't be applied here, can it?
Currently I try something like
=== snip ===
- name: find proper directory (2016)
find: paths=/some/dir/{{ ansible_hostname }}/in_2016 file_type=directory
register: dir2016
ignore_errors: True
- debug: var=dir2016
- name: find proper directory (2015)
find: paths=/some/dir/{{ ansible_hostname }}/in_2015 file_type=directory
register: dir2015
ignore_errors: True
when: dir2016.rc != 0
=== snip ===
But then I have to use a bazillion of copy commands containing "when:
dir20xx == 0".
Is there a better way to get this done? I'm using ansible 2.1.0.0 on
SLES 11 SP4.
Maybe it is best to copy a (bash) script to the host and execute it, but
I prefer the documented way via ansible ;)
Regards,
Werner
