https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/template_module.html
says
-
template_path is the path of the template.
-
template_fullpath is the absolute path of the template.
Can someone explain how "the path" is suppose to be different from "the
absolute path"? If I put both those variables in a template, they are
expanded to the absolute path to the template on the source filesystem e.g.
# {{ template_fullpath }}
# {{ template_path }}
in a template results in this:
# /home/mike/gitrepos/ansibletesting/roles/foo/templates/blah.txt
# /home/mike/gitrepos/ansibletesting/roles/foo/templates/blah.txt
I've found a few other mentions of people saying the same thing, e.g.
https://www.toptechskills.com/ansible-tutorials-courses/ansible-template-module-tutorial-examples/
says: "template_fullpath - Same as template_path in my experience" and in
this old issue https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/29995 which seems
to have gone nowhere someone says "There are two vars that play out to the
same value.".
I assume template_path and template_fullpath are supposed to be different
values, but different how, and under what circumstances?
