Adam DeConinck 2f74f6738d Fix for ansible/ansible-modules-core#1568 ... When checksums of local and remote files match, and when follow = True, determine if remote destination is a symlink. If so, de-reference it and pass the link target to the file module as 'dest'. This change fixes an edge case in file copy behavior when: - 'dest' is a symlink to some other file ('realdest') - follow = True - the checksums of the source file, 'src', and the symlink target, 'realdest', match. Because the checksums match, the copy module is skipped and the file module is invoked directly with 'dest' = the symlink, and 'src' = the source of the copy module, whether that source is present on the target machine or not. When 'src' doesn't exist on the target machine, this leads to an error that looks like this because it can't change the target of the symlink: TASK [copy] ******************************************************************** fatal: [192.168.56.101]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "f572d396fae9206628714fb2ce00f72e94f2258f", "failed": true, "gid": 1000, "group": "ajdecon", "mode": "0777", "msg": "src file does not exist, use \"force=yes\" if you really want to create the link: /tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/source", "owner": "ajdecon", "path": "/tmp/issue1568/dest_dir/dest", "size": 8, "src": "source", "state": "link", "uid": 1000} When the path 'src' *does* exist on the target machine, the file module makes this the symlink "dest -> src" instead of "dest -> realdest"... even if the checksum of 'src' on the target machine is different from the checksum of 'src' on the machine where Ansible is running.		2016-02-23 13:47:51 -07:00
