  • name: deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg

    dest=/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg

    group=root

The above task works fine under the stable-1.9 branch but run under the devel branch

TASK [nagios-plugins : deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg] **********************

I did not open an official because I wondering if the functionality changed and I have a 1.9 task that needs to change to work with 2.0

All the following runs fail with “IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:”

  • name: deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    template: >
    src=templates/nrpe_local_cfg.j2
    dest=/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    owner=root
    group=root
    mode=0644
    tags: nagios-plugins

  • name: deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    template: >
    src=~/projects/ansible.git/playbooks.git/roles/nagios-plugins/templates/nrpe_local_cfg.j2
    dest=/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    owner=root
    group=root
    mode=0644
    tags: nagios-plugins

These all work as expected

  • name: deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    template: >
    src=…/playbooks.git/roles/nagios-plugins/templates/nrpe_local_cfg.j2
    dest=/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    owner=root
    group=root
    mode=0644
    tags: nagios-plugins

  • name: deploy /etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    template: >
    src=/Volumes/Warrior1TB/Users/tanner/projects/ansible.git/playbooks.git/roles/nagios-plugins/templates/nrpe_local_cfg.j2
    dest=/etc/nagios/nrpe_local.cfg
    owner=root
    group=root
    mode=0644

lib/ansible/plugins/action/template.py

Super hackery, but his let me task run. Hack is on line 71. Setting self._task._task_include = None allows the code to fall through line 94 and the relative path of the template is built and loaded.

if faf:
source = self._get_first_available_file(faf, task_vars.get(‘_original_file’, None, ‘templates’))
if source is None:
return dict(failed=True, msg=“could not find src in first_available_file list”)
else:
self._task._task_include = None # Super hackery!
if self._task._task_include is not None:

Just guessing that load.path_dwim_relative() is the code I want to execute when using a relative template src path and they only way I can see it getting down to that code is if self._task._task_include = None

Something else weird going on.

so it seems to be an issue of it not detecting it is in a role when
processing non main.yml files included from the main.yml?
