Repository navigation
Maven cache is never extracted on Azure/Aurora VMs #48173
Description

Area

Describe the bug
The Ansible task Install Maven repository on the remote hosts in .github/scripts/ansible/roles/keycloak_remote_installer/tasks/install.yml is always skipped due to a creates directive that checks for a path (/opt/keycloak) already created by a prior step.
Version
nightly
Regression
- The issue is a regression
Expected behavior
The m2 archive should be extracted to the user's home directory on the VM (/home/<user>/.m2/) so Maven can use the cached dependencies.
I guess there are wo issues:
creates: "{{ kc_home }}"-/opt/keycloakis created from prior step at line 40, so this task is always skippeddest: "{{ kc_home }}"- even if extracted,.m2/would land at/opt/keycloak/.m2/instead of/home/<user>/.m2/where Maven looks
Actual behavior
The m2 archive is created on the GitHub runner (tar -C ~/ -czvf m2.tar.gz .m2) but never extracted on the VM:
TASK [keycloak_remote_installer : Install Maven repository on the remote hosts] ***
skipping: [keycloak] => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "skipped, since /opt/keycloak exists"
- Aurora: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/actions/runs/24493041818/job/71581850585 (search for "Install Maven repository")
- Azure: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/actions/runs/24493041818/job/71581850571 (search for "Install Maven repository")
All dependencies are downloaded from Maven Central on every run.

Edit: seems to work now, search in logs:
PUT /tmp/m2.tar.gz TO /home/azureuser/.ansible/tmp/.../source (line 2644)
"handler": "TgzArchive", "dest": "/home/azureuser", "rc": 0, "changed": true (line 2660)
/usr/bin/tar --extract -C /home/azureuser -z --owner=azureuser (line 2660)
