template module bombing out

[John Oliver]

ansible 1.6.10

This task:

- name: Copy admin pwd chg ldif to target

  template: src=admin-pwd-chg.ldif.j2 dest=/tmp/

is leaving /tmp/admin-pwd-chg.ldif.j2 instead of admin-pwd-chg.ldif  The variables in it are being expanded.

-vvvv output:

Hi,

AFAIK it is correct and ansible is doing it at least from 1.1 (when I started with it). If you set only path, template file name is just copied as is in src argument.

template: src=admin-pwd-chg.ldif.j2 dest=/tmp/admin-pwd-chg.ldif

will work.

When you don't specify a destination path, it is going to use the filename to decide the filename of the output.

The solution would be to specify the full path to the destination file.
