From c9cdc9d6f9836fdd6d22861a80863374497a8c50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Major Hayden Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 14:50:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] File module cannot create relative paths When trying to create a directory relative to the current working directory, a directory is created at the root of the filesystem instead. This patch ensures that directories specified with relative paths will be created in the current working directory. Fully qualified paths aren't affected Signed-off-by: Major Hayden --- library/files/file | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/library/files/file b/library/files/file index 6e663e52f05..85102cb9dc5 100644 --- a/library/files/file +++ b/library/files/file @@ -210,8 +210,15 @@ def main(): module.exit_json(changed=True) changed = True curpath = '' - for dirname in path.split('/'): + # Split the path so we can apply filesystem attributes recursively + # from the root (/) directory for absolute paths or the base path + # of a relative path.
