ansible 1.6.9 file contents eats spaces

[anatoly techtonik]

---

- hosts: localhost

  sudo: yes

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - copy: content="1 2  3   4    " dest=/contents

This playbook reduces all spaces to one:

localhost$ ansible-playbook contents.yml

PLAY [localhost] **************************************************************

TASK: [copy content="1 2  3   4    " dest=/contents] **************************

ok: [localhost]

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

localhost$ cat /contents

1 2 3 4 localhost$

Why? And how to stop that?

Hi Anatoly, I believe I have a fix for this, if you'd like to test it out (pushed to devel now):

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/3714c0742fe962d3593ae7b4d28c4c0b1f0c5771

This corrects the issue for me based on your sample above.

Confirm that 1.6.10 fixes that. I wasted a lot of time before writing
to the list. =)

From
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v1.6.10/CHANGELOG.md#1610-and-the-cradle-will-rock---jul-25-2014
* Improved unicode handling when splitting args

It is a regression in 1.6.9.

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/8300 - can't wait to see fix
landed in Debian.

Actualy, my system already updated to 1.6.10. I don't how did that happen
considering that https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ansible still
lists 1.6.9
