Serving static data from a task?

[Howard Jones]

As part of several install tasks, I need to provide additional drivers for the particular hardware we're using (Dell 14G). If possible, I'd like to keep these additional files with the task, so that I can just keep that one directory in version control. Is there an ERB helper like file_url() that doesn't pass the file through the template processor, and just returns the bits in the file instead?

Thanks,

Howard

Hi Howard,

Looks like file_url() has a raw flag, defaulting to false, which when
set returns the contents of the file without passing it through the
processor. Will that do what you want?

Tim.

There I go trusting the docs again ;-)

That looks promising, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

So just for the record, this worked fine to serve driver files from the task directory:

dud=<%= file_url('megaraid_sas-07.700.52.00-2-sles12sp2.x86_64.iso', raw=true)%>

Just to follow up on this, we've modified the docs going forward to include this optional flag. I'll note too that the second argument can even be passed as simply `true` rather than `raw=true`.
