* win_copy: Add force parameter and check-mode support
The rationale behind this is that if you're working with +3GB files,
creating the checksum takes a lot of time, which we can avoid by simply
testing if the file exists.
I also took the liberty to put the various parameters together. It
probably takes a (neglible) performance hit but makes the code a bit
easier to inspect/work with, as its closer to all other windows modules.
On a normal run, the action plugin does a local checksum of the source
and a remote checksum of the destination. And afterwards, the module
will do another remote checksum of the copied source, a remote checksum
of the original destination, and another remote checksum of the copied
destination.
On a very huge file (think 4GB) that means 5x reading the complete file
(if you have a large cache you may get away with it, otherwise you're
doomed !).
This patch will ensure with `force: no` that not checksums are being
performed.
* Moving presence check before remote checksum
* Adapted to wishes
* Even more performance improvements
* include source file in error message
* win_copy: Fix for idempotency
This patch fixes an idempotency issue with win_copy. Without this patch
files would always be considered changed (unless the copy operation failed).
It also fixes the resulting output cfr. what was deocumented.
This PR is based on #20164 functionality to specify the parameter type
(e.g. as done for python modules).
In this case only -type "path" has a specific meaning, as it will expand
environment variables for paths. Which is typically done on Windows.
So you can do:
- win_copy:
src: files/some.doc
dest: '%UserProfile%\My Documents'
