Hi,

we are using Ansible 1.8.2, and we stumbled upon a problem after copying and unarchiving a (large) file:

`
failed: [myhost.com] => {“failed”: true}
msg: Failed to find handler to unarchive. Make sure the required command to extract the file is installed.
msg: Failed to find handler to unarchive. Make sure the required command to extract the file is installed.

`

The task(s) looks like:

`

  • name: copy artifact to the target machine
    copy: src={{ local_nexus_jar.dest }} dest={{ remote_transfer_dir }}

  • name: prepare | unarchive deployment package on target node directly to target directory
    unarchive:
    copy=‘no’
    src=“{{remote_transfer_dir}}/{{wls_artifactId}}-{{wls_version}}.{{wls_type}}”
    dest=“/opt/wls/”

`

The file we´ve previously downloaded has these attributes:

copy should fail, that is a bug, please open a PR

just curious, why not let unarchive copy the file?
