* with_filetree: use splitext for compatibility with template The example code given deploys files with their .j2 extensions intact, which is probably not what you want. * Explain how templates interact with splitext|first * Update plugins/lookup/filetree.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de> * Don't encourage setting the mode of symlinks On ext4, maybe most filesystems, symlinks always have the artificial mode of 0777, and `chmod $mode $symlink` *writes through* the symlink to its target file. An effect of this is that if you deploy a file and a symlink to it (e.g. this common situation: /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default -> ../sites-available/default) then `with_filetree` will forever first deploy the file with the right mode, then corrupt its mode to 0777, and every redeploy will see a change to fix, forever in a loop. Probably `file:` should refuse `mode:` on `state: link`s, but in the meantime, avoid recommending it in `filetree` * Use `follow: false` instead of just the mode. This should be more cross-compatible. https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/2285#discussion_r616571873 * Update plugins/lookup/filetree.py Co-authored-by: Felix Fontein <felix@fontein.de>
