cannot get win_template to work

[Jake Dupuy]

someone please help me out. I cannot get win_template or win_copy to work. I'm able to do a simple ipconfig test to confirm that ansible is working with windows I've got some powershell scripts that I need to have in a template with vars so I can put them on the windows box and run them. I've got a roles structure setup

when I do this>>

- name: check file dir

  win_stat: path=C:\temp

  register: win_test

- name: debug

  debug: var=win_test

>>>output of the debug

ok: [172.16.0.81] => {

    "var": {

        "win_test": {

            "changed": false,

            "invocation": {

                "module_args": "path=C:\\temp",

                "module_name": "win_stat"

            },

            "stat": {

                "exists": true,

                "isdir": true

            }

        }

    }

}

>>>

- name: copy template

  win_template: dest=C:\temp src="{{ template_ps1 }}"

>>>  but when I try and use the win_template I get:

"ERROR: win_template is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler"

Hi Jake,

Seems like the win_template module was readded 6 days back , are you testing this in the latest devel branch ?

Thanks for the reply, I've got a work around but do need to figure out what was going wrong:

- name: create script locally

  local_action: template dest="{{ my_dest }}" src="{{ my_template }}"

- name: run ps script on remote

  script: "{{ my_ps_script }}"

Which ansible version are you using?

1.9.1 contains the action plugin for win_template, but needs win_file and win_copy modules to work, which weren't included in that release.

I just pushed a couple of PRs to improve win_copy / win_file / win_template and would be grateful for any feedback if you could test.

PRs are:

ansible/ansible#11086
and
#1438
