S3 list result to file or variable

[ton...@gmail.com]

Hi. Im trying to automate our restore machine testing. 
At one point i need to connect to amason S3 and download the latest data from a bucket. 

s3://bucet.name/application_name/DATE/version/files1-3

What i have tried thus far:

- name: List s3 objects

      aws_s3:

        bucket: "bucket.name"

        prefix: "/application_name/"

        dest: /home/user/tmp-file

        mode: list

        max_keys: 5

      register: s3objects

      become: yes

      become_user: user    

    

    - name: show list?

      debug:

        msg: "heres the list: {{ s3objects.s3_keys }}"

    

    

    

    - name: write to file

      copy:

        content: "{{ s3objects }}"

        dest: /home/user/tmp-file

      with_items: s3objects.s3_keys  

      become: yes

      become_user: user

The tmp file has this info: 
"{"msg": "LIST operation complete", "failed": false, "changed": false, "s3_keys": []}"

Im very new to ansible, what i would ultimately want is to get this: 
aws s3 ls s3://bucet.name/application_name/ | tail -5

hmm i see that i have one thing wrong. 

prefix is not what i thought it was. If i remove it i get the list for all the applications.

ANd if i enter prefix without / \   then i get the correct data. 
max_keys has no effect tho.

That must be irritating, since every example has leading slashes on the prefix!

Regards, K.
