This is a feature that is being used a lot, but in you case the syntax
is not correct so I would think you get all sort of error messages.
You need to remove the dash in front of src: and dest:
Sigh, one more typo I introduced when making up this example... Of
course, I originally didn't have hyphens in front of the yaml dictionary
keys.
No, ansible did explicitly complain about not finding a file inside a
"files" subdirectory. Here's the original task that causes trouble:
- name: copy gerbera build script
become: true
copy:
src: usr/local/src/gerbera/build-gerbera.sh
dest: usr/local/src/gerbera/build-gerbera.sh
mode: ug+x
This task lives in my root/roles/gerbera_server/tasks/main.yaml (with
"root" denoting the root of the whole ansible project), while the source
file lives in root/roles/gerbera_server/files/files/usr/local/src/gerbera/
Ansible is searching roles/gerbera_server/files
you have files two times, then you need to use
src: files/usr/local/src/gerbera/build-gerbera.sh
Your dest: is relative, that will probably fail, since it will be
relative to where you run ansible-playbook.
When calling the gerbera_server role from my root/main.yaml file, I get:
TASK [gerbera_server : copy gerbera build script]
******************************
fatal: [priamos]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg":
"Unable to find 'usr/local/src/gerbera/build-gerbera.sh' in expected
paths."}
You're absolutely positive that paths relative to a role's "files"
folder should work?
Yes, using the feature all the time.
