[SOLVED] install gradel 5.4.1 using ansible-playbook

Issue

I have installed gradel-5.4.1 manually using the command sudo curl -O -k -L -v -X https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.zip

Now I want to automate this task using an ansible-playbook. This is what i have tried, however it does not work. The playbook and the error message is below.

please help??

Playbook:

--- 
- hosts: servers
  become: yes

  tasks:
    - name: create a Directory /opt/gradle
      file:
        path: ~/opt/gradel
        state: directory
        mode: 0755

    - name: Unarchive a file that needs to be downloaded (added in 2.0)
      unarchive:
        src: https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-bin.zip
        dest: ~/
        remote_src: yes

Error Message:

fatal: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failure downloading https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-bin.zip, Request failed: <urlopen error unknown url type: https\\>"}

Solution

I'm not sure why you included a random backslash, but as the message clearly indicated, https\ is not a legal protocol

    - name: Unarchive a file that needs to be downloaded (added in 2.0)
      unarchive:
        src: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-bin.zip
        dest: ~/
        remote_src: yes

I also have suspicions about dest: ~/ because that ~/ nomenclature is a shell construct, and not an actual path, but it's possible ansible will use os.path.expanduser and you'll get away with it. Otherwise you'll want to replace that with dest: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/"
