handle destination files that are symlinks

[nrser]

the library was replacing the symlink location with the new content instead of replacing the symlink's target file.

Confirmed, your fix seems ok. But could you add a testing playbook for it as well?

Add the following files and dirs:

• tests/test-the-feature.yml - A playbook to test "the feature."
• tests/fixtures/test-the-feature/... - Put fixtures to be tested. Symlinks should be safely managed by git.
• tests/expected/test-the-feature/... - Put expected results after running playbook.

Run bash run.sh in tests dir. It copies fixtures dir to testing dir, then for each playbook (*.yml) it runs ansible-playbook twice and checks difference between testing and expected.

sorry, i'd like to add tests for it, but i don't know if/when i'll get the time. i made the fix in my fork and wanted to make it available for anyone else that hit the same problem. it's an extremely strait-forward change. i understand if you don't want to include it without tests, but hopefully this will at least show up in search results for people experiencing the same issue.

Released v0.2, added "follow" option in blockinfile like other official modules in Ansible 1.8.

Please try adding "follow=yes" to blockinfile invocations in your playbooks.
