binary checksum seems broken about ansible-alertmanager HOT 4 CLOSED

found the solution on MacOS... it is a old new problem.

Suggests common ansible problem on MacOS. More in cloudalchemy/ansible-prometheus#230 (comment)

Closing this as it is not an issue with role, but with ansible module.

Would you consider to replace it with other more straight forward module?

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/get_url_module.html

- name: Download file with checksum url (sha256)
  get_url:
    url: http://example.com/path/file.conf
    dest: /etc/foo.conf
    checksum: sha256:http://example.com/path/sha256sum.txt

from ansible-alertmanager.

This is not converting one execution to another, but converting one task into 2 or 3 and arranging them in a block, how is that more straight forward?

To get a checksum we need to do the following:

1. download a file
2. parse content based on system architecture
3. assign parsed data to a variable

IMHO changing set_fact + lookup into a get_url doesn't provide a cleaner solution. Changing it would mean we need to add get_url to download a file and save it somewhere (which already is problematic if we want to have a multi-platform role), next add another task to slurp the content, parse it, and assign it to a variable.
