ignore_errors doesn't work with copy?

[Bryan Larsen]

I wanted to do a copy IFF the src exists.   I thought this would work:

- copy: src=../../../../shared/secrets.json dest=/srv/clara/shared/secrets.json backup=yes

  ignore_errors: yes

This fails with

fatal: [127.0.0.1] => input file not found at /home/rof/clara/shared/secrets.json or /shared/secrets.json

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

Is this a typo on my part, working as expected, or a bug?

thanks,
Bryan

It's a bug -- though also working as expected -- as I never expected anyone to try this :)

ignore_errors was put there to ignore the return codes in modules returns, not in fatal errors that happen in processing the input, like missing local files.   But I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work as you say.

Please file a ticket on github and we can make this work as you suggest.   The template module should also be similarly modified.

Hi, has this ever been implemented ?

I'm hitting this same problem with the unarchive module, but anything that checks for local files really, should be affected.
