I have an ansible role to install local rpm’s, and it’s downloaded in the files folder location. When I execute the ansible-playbook command it says “No Rpm found”

Role

tasks/main.yml

  package:
    name: files/"{{ item }}"
  with_items: "{{ pkgs }}"

Getting the below error message

    "msg": "No package matching 'files/"<rpm_name>-0.103.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm"' found available, installed or updated", 
    "rc": 126, 
    "results": [
        "No package matching 'files/"<rpm_name>-0.103.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm"' found available, installed or updated"

Give a suggestion on this plz

Answer

To install a package on the target system with an RPM file, it should be present on the target system at some path.

So your role should first copy the RPMs to some destination on target and then run the install command.

Example tasks/main.yml:

- copy:
    src: "{{ item }}"
    dest: "/tmp/{{ item }}"
  loop: "{{ pkgs }}"

- yum:
    name: "/tmp/{{ item }}"
    state: "present"
  loop: "{{ pkgs }}"
