Course Update: Section 2 - Section 1 & 2 Quiz -- Incorrect mode command argument in the - 'Ansible Modules - check our knowledge'

[mikeelliottuk]

Hi there, I was working through the 'Lets check our Ansible knowledge' test for the Ansible Modules section (Approx 14m30s in the video). I constructed the command using the Ansible documentation and noticed a small error in the instructional video.

The command as shown was:

ansible all -m file -a 'path=/tmp/test_modules.txt state=touch mode=600'

but I noticed that the documentation states that the mode value in this case will be interpreted as decimal and not octal. I think the command should therefor be:

ansible all -m file -a 'path=/tmp/test_modules.txt state=touch mode='600''
or
ansible all -m file -a 'path=/tmp/test_modules.txt state=touch mode=0600'

Thanks @mikeelliottuk! Appreciate this feedback.

Also, awesome to see your attention to detail.

I'll take a look further on this. Will leave the issue open until it's addressed accordingly 👍
