- hosts: all
  vars:
    project_repo_uri: "https://github.com/jmjf/test-site.git"
    project_version: "HEAD"
    project_name: "test"

  tasks:
    # Ensure the target deployment directory path exists
    - file: path=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-sparse/baseline/release state=directory

    # I was trying to use synchronize to move the template directory, but kept getting 
    # permission failures. Probably key issues, but I'm not going to deal with that right
    # now because I only need a single file--create directory and copy is adequate.

    # Ensure the git template directory structure is ready to receive the sparse-checkout file
    - file: path=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-sparse/git_template/info state=directory

    # For testing, sparse-checkout includes the following two lines (minus comment markers)
    # mu-plugins/
    # README.md

    # Ensure the git template directory includes info/sparse-checkout
    - copy:
        src=git_template/info/sparse-checkout
        dest=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-sparse/git_template/info/sparse-checkout

    # Test the sparse checkout function. The test repo contains a directory (mu-plugins) and
    # three files. The sparse checkout should get mu-plugins and README.md, but ignore
    # test.txt and wp-tests-config.php

    # Ensure the repo is checked out (sparse) on the remote
    - git: repo={{ project_repo_uri }}
           dest=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-sparse/baseline/release 
           version="{{ project_version }}"
           template_path=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-sparse/git_template
           config=core.sparsecheckout=true

    # A couple of other tests to verify the changes aren't causing any problems.

    # Ensure the target deployment directory path exists
    - file: path=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-normal/baseline/release state=directory

    # Ensure the repo is checked out (normal) on the remote
    - git: repo={{ project_repo_uri }}
           dest=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-normal/baseline/release 
           version="{{ project_version }}"

    # Ensure the target deployment directory path exists
    - file: path=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-bare/baseline/release state=directory

    # Ensure the repo is checked out (bare) on the remote
    - git: repo={{ project_repo_uri }}
           dest=/srv/deploy/{{ project_name }}-bare/baseline/release 
           version="{{ project_version }}"
           bare=yes

git module doesn't support parameters like template_path and config now :(
