Hi there,
I wonder how (if at all) it was possible to refer to files in
subdirectories of a role's "file" folder when using modules like "copy" and
the like.
To clarify, let's assume we have a directory layout like this:
root/
- main.yaml
- files/
- foo.txt
- bar/
- baz.txt
- roles/
- mumbo/
- files/
- foo.txt
- bar/
- baz.txt
- tasks/
- main.yaml
Now within root/main.yaml, I can refer to root/files/bar/baz.txt like
- name: copy bar/baz.txt to host
copy:
- src: files/bar/baz.txt
- dest: /some/path/baz.txt
When, however, I include the "mumbo" role in root/main.yaml and I try to
refer to root/roles/mumbo/files/bar/baz.txt from within the
root/roles/mumbo/tasks/main.yaml file in a similar fashion, i.e. like
- name: copy bar/baz.txt to mumbo host
copy:
- src: files/bar/baz.txt
- dest: /some/other/path/baz.txt
or
- name: copy bar/baz.txt to mumbo host
copy:
- src: ../files/bar/baz.txt
- dest: /some/other/path/baz.txt
ansible complains that it is unable to locate the source file. It is
possible, though, to refer to files residing directly in the
root/roles/mumbo/files folder:
- name: copy foo.txt to mumbo host
copy:
- src: foo.txt
- dest: /yet/another/path/foo.txt
works like a charm.
So am I missing something or is it really not possible to organize files in
subdirectories?
