I'm pretty new in ansible and by now can't figure out how to make an idempotent task. E.g. file. It simply doesn't have creates or removes. In command module it does have creates, but whenever I run the provisioner and the file (symbolic link) does exist, the ansible still marks the command as "ok", not "skipped".
Here's command module example
- name: Firefox | link
command: ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox creates=/usr/local/bin/firefox
Always gets executed.
How do I get sure that the command won't be executed >=2 times given the node's state is already accomplished by 1st run?
Thank you!
