change in install_apps.yml causes install to fail

[snoby]

Using the 'latest' release of splunk docker container, the install of apps fails, where as when I revert back to version splunk/splunk:8.0.4-debian the install succeeds. I have tracked the error down to the latest commit here:

https://github.com/splunk/splunk-ansible/commit/eb74b3aeab63f838a30140fd5f34e36484a13403?short_path=23293e9#r39919588

The error message is:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {}

MSG:

The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'dest'

The error appears to be in '/opt/ansible/roles/splunk_common/tasks/install_apps.yml': line 43, column 5, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  - name: Infer app filepath
    ^ here

Could you share what your SPLUNK_APPS_URL/splunk.apps_location looks like?

It's the list of two apps (obviously)

Got it, I think it's /tmp/splunk_httpinput.tgz name breaking the simplistic jinja matching. Will shoot a fix shortly; if you need a workaround, you can probably rename splunk_httpinput.tgz to not include http and you should be set.
