ansible.builtin.first_found (v2.5.6) — lookup

Install Ansible via pip

Install with pip install ansible==2.5.6

Description

this lookup checks a list of files and paths and returns the full path to the first combination found.

As all lookups, when fed relative paths it will try use the current task's location first and go up the chain to the containing role/play/include/etc's location.

The list of files has precedence over the paths searched. i.e, A task in a role has a 'file1' in the play's relative path, this will be used, 'file2' in role's relative path will not.
