This was causing wrong behaviour when `prev_state` was `hard`-link,
since the `file` module tried to apply the same `state` on the new
file, causing unexpected errors.
Particularly, both `overlay` and `devicemapper` storage drivers in
docker use hardlinks to share files between layers. This causes
most ansible playbooks to fail when working with files from layers
below.
* Fail if an empty string is set as src for copy module
Fixes#27363
* Cleanup task formatting on copy tests
Use multi-line YAML
Add debug statements with verbosity: 1 rather than leave them in there commented out.
* Add test for empty string as source
* Do more checks in order to add more specific errors messages
Add more integration tests for the various failure scenarios.
Cleanup some syntax on existing integration test tasks.
* set output_dir_expanded using module result
'path' values are expanded using 'expandvars' too
* foo.txt is located in 'files' directory
* Use 'role_path' and 'connection: local' for local paths
'{{ role_path }}/tmp' is used for generated paths
* Use local connection with local paths
/tmp/ansible-test-abs-link and /tmp/ansible-test-abs-link-dir are
defined by targets/copy/files/subdir/subdir1/ansible-test-abs-link
and targets/copy/files/subdir/subdir1/ansible-test-abs-link-dir links.
* task names: add a suffix when same name is reused
* Check that item exists before checking file mode
then error message is more explicit when item doesn't exist
* Use output_dir_expanded only when necessary
* Enforce remote_user when root is required
* Fix remote path
* Use different local & remote user
this is useful when controller and managed hosts are identical
* Checks must not expect output of tested module to be right
* Use a temporary directory on the controller
* Use sha1 & md5 filters instead of hardcoded values
* Use 'remote_dir' for directory on managed host
* Workaround tempfile error on OS X
Error was:
temp_path = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix='ansible_')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mkdtemp'"
Absolute path trailing slash handling in absolute directories
find_needle() isn't passing a trailing slash through verbatim. Since
copy uses that to determine if it should copy a directory or just the
files inside of it, we have to detect that and restore it after calling
find_needle()
Fixes#27439
* We need a directory walker that can handle symlinks, empty directories,
and some other odd needs. This commit contains a directory walker that
can do all that. The walker returns information about the files in the
directories that we can then use to implement different strategies for
copying the files to the remote machines.
* Add local_follow parameter to copy that follows local symlinks (follow
is for remote symlinks)
* Refactor the copying of files out of run into its own method
* Add new integration tests for copy
Fixes#24949Fixes#21513
* keep unsafe .. unsafe
fixes#23734, which was broken in previous fix that allowed non string types to be templated
use new 'is_template' function vs bastardizing others
refactored clean_data to allow for arbitrary data structures to clean
fixed/removed some tests
* deal with complex data for is_template
* typos
Copy module was walking over files in subdirectories repeatedly (a
directory tree a few levels deep could bring the time spent into the
tens of minutes)
This was traced to the fix for this bug report: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/13013Fixed#13013 a different way and added an integration test to check for
regressions of #13013 as we optimize this code.
Fixes#21513
This change corrects problems reported by the `yamllint` linter.
Since key duplication problems were removed in 4d48711, this commit
mainly fixes trailing spaces and extra empty lines at beginning/end of
files.
