For this, add internal "original_basename" param to file module,
similar to copy module. (Param name is a bit misnormer now, should
be treated as "original basepath").
If src param to copy is a directory, all files under it are collected
and pushed one by one to target. Source dir path handled in a way
simalar to rsync: if it ends with slash, only inside contents of
directory are copied to destination, otherwise the dir itself is
copied (with all contents of course). Original idea and implementation
by https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/1809 . Rewritten to address
review comments and simplify/correct logic.
The 'always_run' task clause allows one to execute a task even in
check mode.
While here implement Runner.noop_on_check() to check if a runner
really should execute its task, with respect to check mode option
and 'always_run' clause.
Also add the optional 'jinja2' argument to check_conditional() :
it allows to give this function a jinja2 expression without exposing
the 'jinja2_compare' implementation mechanism.
Previously setting force=no caused copy to subversively
fail when target did not exist on remote host.
Caused by Runner._remote_md5 returning 1
when files don't exist, rather than 0.
The copy action accepts force=no, which tells it not to replace an
existing file even if it differs from the source. The copy action
plug-in wasn't respecting this option when operated in check mode, so it
would report that changes are necessary in check mode even though copy
would make no changes when run normally.
Runner._remote_md5 was changed to make the logic for setting rc perhaps
a little more clear, and to make sure that rc=0 when the file does not
exist.
If it is a directory, change the destination path by appending the
basename of the source file, like is done if the destination ends with a
/, and try to get the MD5 of the new path.
