with_first_found and templates

[Josh Smift]

We've got a task like this:

- name: template TrustedHosts
template: dest=/etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts src={{ item }} backup=yes
with_first_found:
- TrustedHosts.{{ stack }}
- TrustedHosts.default

There are three hosts that use the playbook this is in, and when Ansible
gets to this task, it says

TASK: [../../shared/roles/opendkim | template TrustedHosts] *******************
fatal: [host3] => {'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}
fatal: [host2] => {'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}
fatal: [host3] => {'msg': 'One or more items failed.', 'failed': True, 'changed': False, 'results': [{'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}]}
fatal: [host2] => {'msg': 'One or more items failed.', 'failed': True, 'changed': False, 'results': [{'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}]}
fatal: [hos1] => {'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}
fatal: [host1] => {'msg': 'One or more items failed.', 'failed': True, 'changed': False, 'results': [{'msg': 'unable to read /home/jsmift/ansible/shared/roles/opendkim/templates', 'failed': True}]}

(Hostnames changed to protect the innocent.)

It works fine if I change it to

- name: template TrustedHosts
template: dest=/etc/opendkim/TrustedHosts src={{ item }} backup=yes
with_first_found:
- ../templates/TrustedHosts.{{ stack }}
- ../templates/TrustedHosts.default

That suggests to me that it's searching relative to the 'files' directory
of this role; I had expected it to search relative to the 'templates'
directory, since this task uses the template module.

Should the initial task work as written (i.e. is this a bug)? If not, is
there a better way to do this, or is "../templates" the right answer?

Hi Josh,

The various "with_" operators in ansible are generic so this shouldn't be specific to the template module, but that does seem a bit curious.

I amw ondering if it's because with_first_found is not returning an os.path.abspath or has some weird logic in there.

Can you please file a bug on this one so we can look at it?

Thanks!

Done: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/8879 (from my personal
account, I don't have a work-related Github account at the moment).

Thanks!
