I'm also running into this issue and spent some time troubleshooting. In my
case, the host I'm pushing the file to is on a separate network without
incoming access to where we host the files, thus the proposed workaround of
using `get_url` does not work.
In my troubleshooting, I've found out the following details:
1. The timeout used by `pywinrm` is not relevant because the files are
transferred via many small requests. You can play with this setting by
defining the vars: `ansible_winrm_read_timeout_sec` and
`ansible_winrm_operation_timeout_sec`. While the timeout was reflected in
the error message, it had no effect.
2. The temp file created by the `win_copy` always tops out at the same
size: 110,840 KB
3. The `winrm` connector uses 250,000 byte chunks to transfer the file. If
you change the `buffer_size` parameter in
`ansible/plugins/connection/winrm.py` to something larger, then the temp
file on the windows size will be larger than the 110,840 KB mentioned
previously
4. If you bump that `buffer_size` up enough, you can successfully transfer
the whole file.
5. By running the following command, I've always received the result "457"
when the process fails, regardless of `buffer_size`. This seems to indicate
that there is some bound that is being exceeded but I have not been able to
figure out if it's a problem with ansible code or the WinRM service
configuration on the server.
ansible-playbook -vvvvv -l windows -i inventory playbook.yml | grep
"WINRM PUT" | wc -l
That's as far as I've gone... Hopefully someone more familiar with the
WinRM connector may have some ideas...
