Stage job output on the remote node Takes as input a dictionary of files/folders named 'zuul_copy_output'. Copies contents into {{ stage_dir }} on the remote node and is intended to be used before output fetching in a base job's post-playbook. If you plan to pair this role with the 'fetch-output' role you should ensure {{ stage-dir }] is set to match {{ zuul_output_dir }}. **Role Variables** .. zuul:rolevar:: zuul_copy_output :default: None Dictionary of files and folders to be staged. The input is a dictionary so that it can accumulated via zuul variable merging. Keys of the dictionary will be things to copy. Valid values describe the type of output to copy: * logs * artifacts * docs * null # ansible null, not the string null null overrides the will of a parent job to copy something instructing not to copy. If the type is suffixed with ``_txt``, then the item will have ``.txt`` appended to its name. For example: .. code-block:: yaml zuul_copy_output: /var/log/syslog: logs_txt Will copy ``/var/log/syslog`` to ``logs/syslog.txt``. .. zuul:rolevar:: stage_dir :default: {{ ansible_user_dir }} The stage directory on the remote node. .. zuul:rolevar:: extensions_to_txt :default: null A dict of file extensions to be replaced with .txt when staging. This can be useful to ensure that text files with an extension not registered in the web server may be viewed via browser when uploaded to a file server. Note that this is only used for files listed directly in `zuul_copy_output` and it won't be applied to files contained in folders listed in `zuul_copy_output`. Example:: extensions_to_txt: conf: True log: True txt: False zuul.conf --(staged as)--> zuul_conf.txt .. zuul:rolevar:: stage_compress_logs :default: False When True, files staged as logs will be compressed individually. Note this option is deprecated as final log storage should control whether or not contents are compressed. The reason for this is certain services like swift may serve compressed files like .tar.gz tarballs uncompressed when you want them to be compressed when served in this way.
