ansible wget then exec scripts => get_url equivalent

Question

I always wonder what is the good way to replace the following shell tasks using the \"ansible way\" (with get_url, etc.):

- name: I         


        

Answer 1

Note the: "force=yes", which will always download the script, overriding the old one. Also note the "changed_when", which you can refine per your case.

  - name: 'Download {{ helm.install_script_url }}'
    environment:
      http_proxy:  '{{proxy_env.http_proxy | default ("") }}'
      https_proxy: '{{proxy_env.https_proxy | default ("") }}'
      no_proxy:    '{{proxy_env.no_proxy | default ("") }}'
    get_url: url={{ helm.install_script_url | default ("") }} dest=/tmp/helm_install_script force=yes mode="0755"
    when: helm.install_script_url is defined
    tags:
    - helm_x

  - name: Run {{ helm.install_script_url }}
    environment:
      http_proxy:  '{{proxy_env.http_proxy | default ("") }}'
      https_proxy: '{{proxy_env.https_proxy | default ("") }}'
      no_proxy:    '{{proxy_env.no_proxy | default ("") }}'
    command: "/tmp/helm_install_script"
    register: command_result
    changed_when: "'is up-to-date' not in command_result.stdout"
    when: helm.install_script_url is defined
    args:
      chdir: /tmp/
    tags:
    - helm_x
