COMPONENT NAME

zos_copy

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For #411: When using mode in zos_copy and copying between directories, the given permissions are applied to the destination directory and any files that were not already present in it. Preexisting files and subdirectories are left with the same permissions they had before running the module.

For #412: force was added to the arg_spec of the module.

@rexemin - could you please look at what appears to be regression from the previous version (unless intentional) where copying a directory from src to target seems only to copy the src directory contents. We might have not proper test coverage, ill take a look later at that but wanted to note it for now.

In 1.3.5 (previous version)

    - name: Copy workflows directory and its contents to directory /u/d020216/products/zosmf
      zos_copy:
        src: /tmp/workflows
        dest: /u/test/products/zosmf
        mode: '0644'
        group: 'OMVSGRP'
        owner: 'OMVSADM'
        validate: true
        ignore_sftp_stderr: true
        force: true
      register: file_output

Yields this a directory workflows/ under path /u/test/products/zosmf :

# ls /u/test/products/zosmf
workflows

In this PR (1.3.6) only the contents are copied into /u/test/products/zosmf

 ls /u/test/products/zosmf
flow-1.xml  flow-2.xml  flow-3.xml  flow-4.xml

A new pull request will be performed for a new zos_copy module enhancement that will support directory copies as well, given this was the intended design at the time and all test cases passed, there is no reason to post pone this merge.

Looks great, lots of good work here, I am going to merge it and as we discussed a new PR and issue to support copying directories as well for zos_copy module.
