[5.14.14] redhat: download failure for JDK 8

[Petenerd]

The version isn't getting set correctly and it leads to a download page that has auth.

"http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u152-b16/aa0333dd3019491ca4f6ddbe78cdb6d0/jdk-8u152-linux-x64.rpm"

https://github.com/ansiblebit/oracle-java/blob/master/tasks/redhat/main.yml#L14 only has regex that looks for version 9

@Petenerd can you use 5.14.12 in the meantime?

[Petenerd]

Yeah - we got around it by pinning to that, I just wanted to raise the issue - so you guys were aware

[wawrzek]

And it seems that version 9 is not on the page anymore.

The current version (5.14.14) has two problems:

1. the regex to find download URLs does not work
2. the target directory is wrong

For 1) a possible fix is to relax the version number:

# see tasks/redhat/main.yml
- name: determine latest java download page and version
  set_fact: latest_java_page_and_version="{{ (result.content.replace('\n','')|regex_replace('.*(/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk([0-9]+)-downloads.*?.html).*', 'http://www.oracle.com/\1\n\2')).split('\n') }}"

For 2) either revert 680d5703502ef22046070f28ebcce972f736495a or compute it dependent of oracle_java_version

update: I'd appreciate continued support of JDK8 because the environment where I use this module will stick on JDK8 for some time ...

I've removed the logic to try and capture the latest download URL from the Oracle page (more trouble to maintain that it is worth).

I've got a new beta version of this role in the develop branch.

These will be the variables you will be able to set for RedHat distributions:

• oracle_java_dir_source: directory where to store the RPM files (default: /usr/local/src).
• oracle_java_rpm_filename: file name used for the download destination (default: jdk-10.0.2_linux-x64_bin.rpm).
• oracle_java_home: the location of the Java home directory (default: /usr/java/default).
• oracle_java_download_url: where to download the rpm from (default: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/10.0.2+13/19aef61b38124481863b1413dce1855f/jdk-10.0.2_linux-x64_bin.rpm).
• oracle_java_download_timeout: download timeout, in seconds (default: 60).
• oracle_java_rpm_validate_certs: flag to indicate if you want SSL certificate validation (default: yes).

hopefully, this should give everyone the flexibility to pick whatever version they want.

I'll close this ticket when 6.20.0 is released.

if you test the branch, please let me know on this thread.

fixed on https://github.com/ansiblebit/oracle-java/releases/tag/6.22.0.

please report any new problems you may find.

thank you!
