ansible-drawio's Issues

rhel - No group tmp/drawio-13.6.2.deb available

When running on RHEL 8, I got the following error:
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "No group tmp/drawio-13.6.2.deb available.", "results": []}

After replacing in tasks/install_redhat.yml:
"/tmp/drawio-{{ drawio_version }}.deb" to "/tmp/drawio-{{ drawio_version }}.rpm", it worked.

package not found

Hi,
Trying to deploy the latest release of drawio, we encounter the following error:

TASK [stdevel.drawio : Download package] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************fatal: [debian10]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "dest": "/tmp/drawio-14.6.13.deb", "elapsed": 0, "msg": "Request failed", "response": "HTTP Error 404: Not Found", "status_code": 404, "url": "https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/download/v14.6.13/draw.io-amd64-14.6.13.deb"}

Settings to reproduce:

- hosts: debian10
  roles:
  - role: stdevel.drawio
    drawio_version: "14.6.13"
    drawio_use_appimage: false

It seems upstream has changed the package name recently. On 14.4.3 (february '21) package was still called "draw.io". Since then, 14.4.5.1 and 14.6.13 were both released with "drawio". This is true for at least .deb and .rpm. Perhaps this has to do with the new branding?

Anyway, we are about to send a pull request for this.
