Directory always marked as changed

Archives Ansible Project

Hello,

I have the following in a role definition for jenkins:

- name: Ensure jenkins .vnc directory does exist.
  file:
    path: /var/lib/jenkins/.vnc/
    state: directory
    owner: jenkins
    group: jenkins
    mode: 0750

Whenever I run the playbook, this directory creation is always marked
as changed.

Immediately before this I run:

- name: Ensure jenkins .m2 directory does exist.
  file:
    path: /var/lib/jenkins/.m2/
    state: directory
    owner: jenkins
    group: jenkins
    mode: 0750

and this one is only created once and marked as unchanged.

Regards Mirko

I am using ansible-1.8.2 on Mac OS X, the provisioned host is a
vagrant instance.

Things work as expected for me in my vagrant test.

What version of Ansible were you using?

Thanks!

Hello,

sorry for the noise and thanks for all answers. I had copied an old /etc/defaults/jenkins configuration file where the mode was always changed to 0700. So every time ansible checked whether Jenkins was running by calling the init.d script, the mode was reset to above value.
