I want to list ONLY Filenames dev.xml and prd.xml that contain a word called “vob.fi.ted.com". Im able to list all filenames dev.xml and prd.xml using find module but when I use contains parameter in playbook it doesn’t return those files although they have the string in their contents.
- hosts: test gather_facts: false become: yes become_user: root tasks: - name: Ansible find files examples find: paths: /opt/common patterns: "dev.xml,prd.xml" contains: "vob.fi.ted.com" recurse: yes register: files_to_find - debug: msg: "{{ files_to_find.files }}" I get empty for list of files matched like below output. However when I remove the contains: "vob.fi.ted.com" parameter , I get the list of matched files. All the files have 777 permission also. OUTPUT ok: [xxx.ted.com] => { "changed": false, "examined": 3408, "files": [], "invocation": { "module_args": { "age": null, "age_stamp": "mtime", "contains": "vob.fi.ted.com", "file_type": "file", "follow": false, "get_checksum": false, "hidden": false, "paths": [ "/opt/common" ], "patterns": [ "dev.xml", “prd.xml” ], "recurse": true, "size": null, "use_regex": true } }, "matched": 0, "msg": "" } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
