When using 'remote_src: yes' and 'mode: preserve', the code handling
the file modes has to be handled on the remote node because it's
the one that has access to the source files. This means that the
copy module itself must handle this, rather than the copy action
plugin (which is where all that logic exists). The copy module
handles this when we copy a single file over. But when it is a
directory as the src parameter value, the mode of the files
beneath it are not considered. Subdirectories are copied with
shutil.copytree() which will preserve permissions automatically.
Individual files are copied with shutil.copyfile() which does NOT
preserve permissions. We need to add some calls to shutil.copymode()
to correct that.
Note: This *always* retains individial file permissions. Specifying
a 'mode' other than 'preserve' when giving a source directory for
the 'src' param does not make sense so will be ignored in that case
only.
Fixes#69783
* Add changelog and test
* Do not pass file mode during recursive copy on symlink files.
The 'file' module cannot deal with mode=preserve. Do not pass that
mode to the module when 'preserve' is used.
* Fix changelog fragment filename
* fixed#47050
* added changelog fragment
* added quick and basic test
* Revert "added quick and basic test"
This reverts commit 75f4141656.
* added better tests
* now also creating files to copy on the remote
* removed tests for recursive copying which is not supported by remote_src
* remove deprecated get_md5 from stat
fixes#55309
* removed get_md5 from tests involving stat
* keep get_md5 but hide it
* rst it
* ammended comment
* ws
* added ignore for hidden md5
Fixes several bugs exposed in #34893
* Fixes relative path handling in copy so that it splits directories and
reconstructs the correct file path
* Return failed in the proper circumstances
* Fixes for mode=preserve
* Document mode=preserve for template and copy
* Make mode=preserve work with remote_src for copy
* Make mode=preserve work for template
* Integration tests for copy & template mode=preserve
Fixes#39279
* Changed mode option in win_copy to hidden option as it doesn't reflect copy mode
copy currently fails if you specify a destination without any directory
component. This is because we take the dirname of the destination for
some processing and no dirname causes issues.
This corrects that by prepending "./" if there is no directory component
in dest.
* Warn on tests used as filters
* Update docs, add aliases for tests that fit more gramatically with test syntax
* Fix rst formatting
* Add successful filter, alias of success
* Remove renamed_deprecation, it was overkill
* Make directory alias for is_dir
* Update tests to use proper jinja test syntax
* Update additional documentation, living outside of YAML files, to reflect proper jinja test syntax
* Add conversion script, porting guide updates, and changelog updates
* Update newly added uses of tests as filters
* No underscore variable
* Convert recent tests as filter changes to win_stat
* Fix some changes related to rebasing a few integration tests
* Make tests_as_filters_warning explicitly accept the name of the test, instead of inferring the name
* Add test for tests_as_filters_warning
* Update tests as filters in newly added/modified tests
* Address recent changes to several integration tests
* Address recent changes in cs_vpc
This was causing wrong behaviour when `prev_state` was `hard`-link,
since the `file` module tried to apply the same `state` on the new
file, causing unexpected errors.
Particularly, both `overlay` and `devicemapper` storage drivers in
docker use hardlinks to share files between layers. This causes
most ansible playbooks to fail when working with files from layers
below.
* Fail if an empty string is set as src for copy module
Fixes#27363
* Cleanup task formatting on copy tests
Use multi-line YAML
Add debug statements with verbosity: 1 rather than leave them in there commented out.
* Add test for empty string as source
* Do more checks in order to add more specific errors messages
Add more integration tests for the various failure scenarios.
Cleanup some syntax on existing integration test tasks.
* set output_dir_expanded using module result
'path' values are expanded using 'expandvars' too
* foo.txt is located in 'files' directory
* Use 'role_path' and 'connection: local' for local paths
'{{ role_path }}/tmp' is used for generated paths
* Use local connection with local paths
/tmp/ansible-test-abs-link and /tmp/ansible-test-abs-link-dir are
defined by targets/copy/files/subdir/subdir1/ansible-test-abs-link
and targets/copy/files/subdir/subdir1/ansible-test-abs-link-dir links.
* task names: add a suffix when same name is reused
* Check that item exists before checking file mode
then error message is more explicit when item doesn't exist
* Use output_dir_expanded only when necessary
* Enforce remote_user when root is required
* Fix remote path
* Use different local & remote user
this is useful when controller and managed hosts are identical
* Checks must not expect output of tested module to be right
* Use a temporary directory on the controller
* Use sha1 & md5 filters instead of hardcoded values
* Use 'remote_dir' for directory on managed host
* Workaround tempfile error on OS X
Error was:
temp_path = tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix='ansible_')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'mkdtemp'"
