Description
Steps to reproduce:
- define a storage path template with placeholders, e.g.
'{% raw %}{{ created_year_short }}-{{ correspondent }}-{{ title }}{% endraw %}'
in variablepaperless_ngx_conf_filename_format
- execute role
What happens:
The role execution fails because created_year_short
variable does not exist.
Hi 👋🏾,
again thanks this ansible role. It made settings up paperless-ngx easy, event though documentation of the bare-metal route is a bit scarce. I ran into problems when defining a paperless_ngx_conf_filename_format
as mentioned above. It seems that even when wrapped between {% raw %}...{% endraw %}
the ansible.builtin.lineinfile
task interprets the paperless-ngx specific placeholde syntax as Jinja variable expressions and tries to expand them. This of course leads to an error because the paperless-ngx specific text templates are not known to ansible.
I found out that by escaping the loop entry for paperless_ngx_conf_filename_format
in the Write the paperless-ngx config file
task in tasks/paperless_ngx/configuration.yml
like so
- pngx_var: PAPERLESS_FILENAME_FORMAT
role_var: "{{ '{{' }} paperless_ngx_conf_filename_format {{ '}}' }}"
fixes the problem. But same as the issue I filed a few days ago I do not know if this solution fits in. However I will open up a PR soon. EDIT: see PR #242
