Users cannot specify error files on Alpine or CentOS

[benwebber]

CentOS and Alpine don't ship error files (or don't place them in the locations found in defaults.yml). In the defaults.cfg template, we do not configure errorfile directives on these distributions:

ansible-haproxy/templates/defaults.cfg

Lines 52 to 58 in 0dac057

	{% if ansible_distribution != 'CentOS' and ansible_distribution != 'Alpine' %}
	{% if haproxy_defaults.errorfile is defined %}
	{% for item in haproxy_defaults.errorfile %}
	errorfile {{ item.code }} {{ item.file }}
	{% endfor %}
	{% endif -%}
	{% endif -%}

This prevents users on those distributions from declaring error files using this role.

We need to allow the user to specify that they want to configure the files if they've provided them outside this role.

I have been looking at this but the only thing I have come up with is a separate default/main.yml for distributions with or without errorfiles.

Hi Guys,

just in case. RHEL also does not ship errorfiles so for using your role i had to extend with:

... and ansible_distribution != 'RedHat' ....
CentOS and RHEL put their errorfiles here:

/usr/share/haproxy/

by default.

Cheers!
