Can anyone clarify how the validate option of the template module works? I
have deliberately configured apache with invalid configuration. On the
command line `apache2 -t -f /etc/apache2/apache2.conf` fails with a syntax
error. But the template module, configured with `validate: 'apache2 -t -f
%s'` thinks it's just fine.
Also, what kind of results should be registered in a register variable for
a failed validation?
I'm using ansible 2.4.4.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.
My task:
- name: "TestingConfig - Debian Family - Template main apache configuration
file."
when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian'
template:
dest: "{{ aspects_apache24_test_configuration_root }}/apache2.conf"
src: "main.conf.j2"
owner: "root"
group: "root"
mode: "0640"
validate: 'apache2 -t -f %s'
register: inprocess_validation_result
tags:
- aspects_apache24
- aspects_apache24_configuration
- aspects_apache24_config
