Ansible : How to copy everything from "Files" folders of a specific role

Question

i ve an ansible role which looks like this :

my-role
├─── files
│       my-file-one
│       my-file-two
│       my-file-...
│       my-file-n
└─── tasks
        main.yml

in my main.yml , i ve this recursive copy task , and i want to copy all files without the need of listing them manually :

- name: copy all files
  copy:
    src: "{{ item }}"
    dest: /dest/
  with_items:
    - ????

Suggestions ??

Answer 1

This seems like the better solution to me:

- name: "Add directories"
  file:
    state: directory
    path: "/{{ item.path }}"
  loop: >-
    {{ lookup('filetree', '.')
     | selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'directory')
    }}

- name: "Add files"
  copy:
    src: "{{ item.path }}"
    dest: "/{{ item.path }}"
  loop: >-
    {{ lookup('filetree', '.')
     | selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'file')
     | selectattr('path', 'regex', '[^~#]$')
    }}

The selectattr('path', 'regex', '[^~#]$') at the end there is to filter out Emacs backup files.
