GIT module bug?

Archives Ansible Project

Not sure whether I am doing something wrong. Using the following playbook

  • hosts: myhosts
    tasks:
  • name: Update git repo der Anwendung
    git:
    dest=/my/webapp
    repo=repo@host:repos/my-webapp
    recursive=no
    update=yes
    accept_hostkey=yes
    sudo: yes

The git to pull the changes the git module always says there is a change:

changed: [myhost] => {“after”: “61b54a57dca2bb263a795541fd3cd9a8090aac45”, “before”: “61b54a57dca2bb263a795541fd3cd9a8090aac45”, “changed”: true, “msg”: “Local modifications exist”}

while I am quite sure that no local changes exist. Can someone reproduce it?

Thanks

Yeah i see the same thing. if you set it to a specific commit or
release it won't trigger,
without that it seems like it always 'git pull's to ensure you have an
up to date copy.

Can’t say I parse the “won’t trigger” part.

I believe a bug was filed for it returning changed=true in some cases where there was not a change.

Sorry, "trigger" in this case means notify: clauses always fire if
you're doing a git pull
without a specific commit/tag (in my experience at least).

Returns changed: True.

yes, this is probably true, I believe the existing ticket already tracks this.

Thanks!
