Ansible 2.2.0
Copy module documentation says, "Options / force: the default is yes, which
will replace the remote file when contents are different than the source.
If no, the file will only be transferred if the destination does not exist."
A sample playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- file:
dest: "{{ item }}"
state: absent
with_items:
- /tmp/passwd
- /tmp/ntp.conf
- copy:
src: "{{ item.src }}"
dest: /tmp
force: "{{ item.force }}"
with_items:
- { src: /etc/passwd, force: yes }
- { src: /etc/ntp.conf, force: no }
- command: 'ls /tmp/passwd /tmp/ntp.conf'
The documentation leads me to believe that /tmp/ntp.conf should be present
at the end of this play. Am I missing something?
If you run ansible-playbook with -v you'll see this message
"dest": "/tmp",
"msg": "file already exists",
So the destination /tmp do exist and the ntp.conf is not created.
If you set the "dest: /tmp/" (trailing slash) and you run
ansible-playbook with -v you get this
"dest": "/tmp/ntp.conf"
and it work as you expected.
If it's a feature or a bug I don't know, I guess it's a feature.
