Hi there,
I've just starting hitting some Windows hosts with Ansible & winrm and
when I use the win_template module, it changes every run:
conf:
Hi I have noticed this behaviour when running the windows integration tests. As far as I can tell it is something that has started happening relatively recently.
What version of ansible are you using?
Many thanks,
Jon
the way checksums are calculated on the unix side had changes and they seem to have affected the windows side also, mdavis recently made an update to compensate for that, please check against current devel to see if the problem persists.
Hi Jon/Brian,
I'm running devel. Performed a pull & retried but still seeing a
change in the file.
Regards,
Chris
Chris,
Thanks for testing.
Did you also update to latest devel of the submodule project?
Jon
Hi Jon,
No, sadly I didn't! 
For some reason I thought a post-pull hook had
been implemented that made that unnecessary. Apologies for the noise,
it is working as expected now 
Regards,
Chris
Chris, glad you are working again. I just tested and the template integration tests are passing again now with latest devel.
For info I think there is still an issue regarding leaving temp dirs behind when using win_template which I am investigating under https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3032
