create tepdir and copy file into it?

[Michael Renner]

Moin,

I want to download a file using the maven_artifact plugin into a temporary directory (an copy this to several other maschines). Now I wonder how to use a registerd variable for this .....


  - name: create temporary build directory
    tempfile:
      state: directory
      suffix: _baz

  - name : download Artifacts
    maven_artifact:
      group_id: "com.foo.bar.baz"
      artifact_id: "baz-application"
      extension: "war"
      repository_url: "http://int-maven-01:8081/nexus/service/local/repositories/releases/content/"
      validate_certs: no
      version: "0.0.3"
      username: ""
      password: ""
      dest: "????"
 
  - name: copy war file
       copy:
       src:?????
       dest: /opt/tomcat/webapp/
         owner: tomcat
         group: root
         mode: 0440


How do I get the name of the directory? How can I use this to the dest and src fields?

Thanks

- name: create temporary build directory
tempfile:
state: directory
suffix: _baz

register: tmpdir
run_once: yes
delegate_to: localhost

If I understand you correctly you want to download to localhost, and then copy it out to all the host in the play.
If so you need to add run_once and delegate_to.

dest: "{{ tmpfile.path }}"

src: "{{ tmpfile.path }}/"

The slash at the end is important since it means content of directory.

You register the output to a variable, and then this variable contain .path with the content of the temporary directory.
