fetch does not support space in file name ?

[Paul Yan]

Hi, 

I just found fetch does not work very well with filenames has spaces in them. so I wrote a test script.
######################################################################
name: report | fetch auditusage report from server
fetch: src="{{ item }}"
          dest=/tmp/fetched
with_items:
    - /tmp/test test.txt 
######################################################################
basically "test.txt" works, "test test.txt" does not.

and here is the error message, looks like it just failed to create the file in local folder, therefore md5sum mismatched. (the whole folder structure on remote server was created locally)
######################################################################
failed: [****.****.com] => (item=/tmp/test test.txt) => {"dest": "/tmp/fetched/****.****.com/tmp/test test.txt", "failed": true, "file": "/tmp/test test.txt", "item": "/tmp/test test.txt", "md5sum": null, "remote_md5sum": "6fa871334b2e8715ef897730f8460553"}
msg: md5 mismatch
######################################################################

any workaround ?

As an initial question, what is ansible --version ?

Ran into this same issue today on the latest devel branch. When fetching a file with a space in the name and "fail_on_missing: true" I get the error: "the remote file does not exist". Removing the space from the filename fixes it. Here's what my task looks like:

- name: fetch result files

  fetch:

    src: "file_with space"

    dest: "/tmp/dest"

    flat: yes

    fail_on_missing: yes
