win_template always changing?

[Chris Bennett]

Hi there,

I've just starting hitting some Windows hosts with Ansible & winrm and
when I use the win_template module, it changes every run:

conf:
======================================================================
- name: Install nxlog.conf template
win_template:
src=templates/nxlog/nxlog.conf.tmpl
dest="c:\\Program Files (x86)\\nxlog\\conf\\nxlog.conf"
tags:
- conf
notify:
- restart nxlog

First run:
======================================================================
$ date; time ansible-playbook -i inv -l svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au win-syslog.yml --tags conf
Mon Feb 29 22:06:54 ACDT 2016

PLAY [win] *********************************************************************

TASK [Install nxlog.conf template] *********************************************
changed: [svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au]

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0


real 0m16.140s
user 0m1.207s
sys 0m0.203s

(confirmed config is correct on remote host)


Second run:
======================================================================
$ date; time ansible-playbook -i inv -l svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au win-syslog.yml --tags conf
Mon Feb 29 22:07:19 ACDT 2016

PLAY [win] *********************************************************************

TASK [Install nxlog.conf template] *********************************************
changed: [svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au]

PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
svrexch13-01.victor.sa.gov.au : ok=1 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0


real 0m16.150s
user 0m1.206s
sys 0m0.192s


Has anyone else observed the same thing?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi I have noticed this behaviour when running the windows integration tests.  As far as I can tell it is something that has started happening relatively recently.

What version of ansible are you using?

Many thanks,

Jon

the way checksums are calculated on the unix side had changes and they seem to have affected the windows side also, mdavis recently made an update to compensate for that, please check against current devel to see if the problem persists.

Hi Jon/Brian,

I'm running devel. Performed a pull & retried but still seeing a
change in the file.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

Thanks for testing.

Did you also update to latest devel of the submodule project?
Jon

[Chris Bennett]

Hi Jon,

No, sadly I didn't! :( For some reason I thought a post-pull hook had
been implemented that made that unnecessary. Apologies for the noise,
it is working as expected now :)

Regards,

Chris

Chris, glad you are working again.  I just tested and the template integration tests are passing again now with latest devel.

For info I think there is still an issue regarding leaving temp dirs behind when using win_template which I am investigating under https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/issues/3032
