Hi,

I'm trying to use ecs_taskdefinition module to create task definitions to ECS.

I'm using example from https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/ecs_taskdefinition_module.html

---

- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - name: "Create task definition"
      ecs_taskdefinition:
        containers:
        - name: simple-app
          cpu: 10
          essential: true
          image: "httpd:2.4"
          memory: 300
          mountPoints:
          - containerPath: /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
            sourceVolume: my-vol
          portMappings:
          - containerPort: 80
            hostPort: 80
        - name: busybox
          command:
            - "echo 'LOL'"
          cpu: 10
          entryPoint:
          - sh
          - "-c"
          essential: false
          image: busybox
          memory: 200
          volumesFrom:
          - sourceContainer: simple-app
        volumes:
        - name: my-vol
        family: test-cluster-taskdef
        state: present
      register: task_output

    - debug: var=task_output

And output is:

$ ansible-playbook playbooks/create-ecs-taskdefinition.yml

                    "host": {},
                    "name": "my-vol"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=3    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0

So far all good. But when I run script again, it does not create new revision of task definition what I would expect to happen and output is exactly the same. Am I missing something or is this some kind of bug?

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.1.0.0

I also tried creating task definition with AWS CLI and it work as expected. Second run create new revision of task definition. So thats why I'm asking this question here.

BR,

Niko

If nothing has changed on the second run then it's behaving correctly. I'm have a related problem (which lead me to this thread) where I do change the definition in the playbook but Ansible doesn't create a new revision. In my case I'm updating the tag in the image. In your example I'd be updating

image: "http:2.4"

to

image: "http:2.5"

Has anyone else seen this issue before?

I'm having the same issue. Updating the image URL, or even updating a volume name doesn't create a new revision. Appreciate any pointers.

Thanks
