Moin,

I want to download a file using the maven_artifact plugin into a temporary directory (an copy this to several other maschines). Now I wonder how to use a registerd variable for this …

  • name: create temporary build directory
    tempfile:
    state: directory
    suffix: _baz

  • name : download Artifacts
    maven_artifact:
    group_id: “com.foo.bar.baz”
    artifact_id: “baz-application”
    extension: “war”
    repository_url: “http://int-maven-01:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/content/”
    validate_certs: no
    version: “0.0.3”
    username: “”
    password: “”
    dest: “???”

  • name: copy war file
    copy:
    src:???
    dest: /opt/tomcat/webapp/
    owner: tomcat
    group: root
    mode: 0440

How do I get the name of the directory? How can I use this to the dest and src fields?

Thanks

Moin,

I want to download a file using the maven_artifact plugin into a temporary
directory (an copy this to several other maschines). Now I wonder how to
use a registerd variable for this .....

  - name: create temporary build directory
    tempfile:
      state: directory
      suffix: _baz

  - name: create temporary build directory
    tempfile:
      state: directory
      suffix: _baz
    register: tmpdir
    run_once: yes
    delegate_to: localhost

If I understand you correctly you want to download to localhost, and then copy it out to all the host in the play.
If so you need to add run_once and delegate_to.

  - name : download Artifacts
    maven_artifact:
      group_id: "com.foo.bar.baz"
      artifact_id: "baz-application"
      extension: "war"
      repository_url:
"http://int-maven-01:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/content/"
      validate_certs: no
      version: "0.0.3"
      username: ""
      password: ""
      dest: "???"

  dest: "{{ tmpfile.path }}"

  - name: copy war file
       copy:
       src:???
       dest: /opt/tomcat/webapp/
         owner: tomcat
         group: root
         mode: 0440

  src: "{{ tmpfile.path }}/"

The slash at the end is important since it means content of directory.

How do I get the name of the directory? How can I use this to the dest and
src fields?

You register the output to a variable, and then this variable contain .path with the content of the temporary directory.
