For example, A task in a role has a 'file1' in the play's relative path, this will be used, 'file2' in role's relative path will not. - Either a list of files O(_terms) or a key O(files) with a list of files is required for this plugin to operate. notes: - This lookup can be used in 'dual mode', either passing a list of file names or a dictionary that has O(files) and O(paths). options: _terms: description: A list of file names. files: description: A list of file names. type: list elements: string default: [] paths: description: A list of paths in which to look for the files. type: list elements: string default: [] skip: type: boolean default: False description: - When V(True), return an empty list when no files are matched. - This is useful when used with C(with_first_found), as an empty list return to C(with_) calls causes the calling task to be skipped. - When used as a template via C(lookup) or C(query), setting O(skip=True) will *not* cause the task to skip. Tasks must handle the empty list return from the template. - When V(False) and C(lookup) or C(query) specifies O(ignore:errors='ignore') all errors (including no file found, but potentially others) return an empty string or an empty list respectively. - When V(True) and C(lookup) or C(query) specifies O(ignore:errors='ignore'), no file found will return an empty list and other potential errors return an empty string or empty list depending on the template call (in other words return values of C(lookup) vs C(query)). seealso: - ref: playbook_task_paths description: Search paths used for relative paths/files.
