Hello,

I’m investigating [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3032](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3032) at the moment and have found the windows integration tests for win\_template no longer pass against latest devel. It appears re templating the same file now reports changed=true whereas in stable-2.0.0.1 branch it reports changed=false

Are there any ‘in progress’ changes to templating at the moment?

Many thanks,

Jon

none that I’m aware of, what has changed is how we checksum (using stat module) but not sure if that affects the win\_template module.

Thank you. That might explain the difference. I will see if the same is true for Linux / template tests.

I looked into this and pushed a change to win\_template earlier today. This should be resolved in devel ansible-modules-core. I don’t think there has been a submodule bump yet in ansible/ansible.

Thanks Matt, I just tested with latest devel the win\_template integration tests are passing again.
