Hi.
Having an issue with a seemingly simple task, I just cannot work this out,
pretty sure there is a simple way of doing this ...
I have these example vars for a role
--------
acs_deploy_instances:
- name: 'test1'
config_dir: '/opt/www/test1'
java_version: 'java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless'
files:
- 'file1'
- 'file2'
- name: 'test2'
config_dir: '/opt/www/test2'
java_version: 'java-11-openjdk-headless'
files:
- 'file3'
- 'file4'
--------
I am trying to copy local files inside the configs dir in the server
profile i.e
servers/server1/configs/acs/test1/file1
servers/server1/configs/acs/test1/file2
to the folder specified in acs_deploy_instances.config_dir
I can see the files correctly if I do
----
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.files }}"
with_items: "{{ acs_dmz_deploy_instances }}"
----
Output :
TASK [common/acs-dmz-deploy : debug]
*******************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'test1', 'config_dir': '/opt/www/test1',
'java_version': 'java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless', 'files': ['file1'
, 'file2']}) => {
"msg": [
"file1",
"file2"
]
}
ok: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'test2', 'config_dir': '/opt/www/test2',
'java_version': 'java-11-openjdk-headless', 'files': ['file3', '
file4']}) => {
"msg": [
"file3",
"file4"
]
}
---
The issue is the fact the src files are in a 'sub list' - i.e file1/file2
so when i try to do this task to copy these files it will not work as the
output contains multiple values (and square brackets)
Example task :
----
- name: Copy config files
copy:
src="../../../../configs/acs/{{ item.name }}/{{ item.files }}"
dest="{{ item.config_dir }}/"
owner="root"
group="root"
mode="0644"
with_items: "{{ acs_dmz_deploy_instances }}"
----
I get the error
"msg": "Could not find or access '../../../../configs/acs/test1/['file1',
'file
2']'\nSearched
in:\n\t/etc/ansible/roles/common/acs-dmz-deploy/files/../../../../configs/acs/test1/['file1',

on th
e Ansible Controller.\nIf you are using a module and expect the file to
exist on the remote, see the remote_src option"}
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use
-vvv. The error was: If you are using a module and expect the f
ile to exist on the remote, see the remote_src option
Can anyone suggest a way to copy the files in the 'sub list' to the
'config_dir' var ?
I've tried using loops, etc but nothing so far is working
