I use ansible to prepare some (unfortunately untidy) updates which consist
of replacing old files by new files. Therefore I would need to
1. backup old files
2. copy new files
So I create for each update a playbook folder with
backup.yml -> saves the old files (loops over vars.yml)
copy.yml -> copies the new files (loops over vars.yml)
vars.yml -> defines where new files shall be copied to
(see tree below)
update2014-05-12/
|-- backup.yml
|-- copy.yml
|-- newfiles
| |-- file1.jar
| |-- file2.jar
| |-- file3.jar
| `--file4jar
|-- oldfiles
|
|-- vars.yml
The problem is now:
If in my copy.yml I copy from newfiles directory, the newfiles directory is
not found (I posted my copy task below)
- name: copy files
synchronize:
archive=no
src=newfiles/{{item.1}}
dest={{ item.0.dest_dir }}{{ item.1 }}
with_subelements:
- copy_files
- files
*Is there a way to specify in a playbook where to look up files* (like the
'files' directory in roles)?
