ansible unarchieve is very unstable

We are using ansible to install wso2api manager and wso2 identity server in remote instanes of AWS.

unarchive is working fine with wso2is-5.1.0.zip and throwing error while using wso2am-1.10.0.zip.

below is the command for unarchive which I have used

- name: unarchive wso2is-5.1.0.zip 
  unarchive: src="{{wso2_dest}}/wso2is-5.1.0.zip" dest="{{wso2_dest}}" copy=no

- name: unarchive apim
  unarchive: src="{{wso2_dest}}/wso2am-1.10.0.zip" dest="{{wso2_dest}}" copy=no

(or)

command: "unzip {{wso2_dest}}/wso2am-1.10.0.zip -d {{wso2_dest}}"

In apim extraction both are throwing errors.. sometimes it will work and sometimes not.

So, currently I planned to use tar command for extraction.

- name: unarchive apim
  command: "tar -xf {{wso2_dest}}/wso2am-1.10.0.tar"

this is working fine.

I want to know why unarchive is so unable.

Error log for unzip:

There is an extra_opts method in unarchive module in ansible. For more information please follow this documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/unarchive_module.html

- name: unarchive wso2is-5.1.0.zip 
  unarchive:
    extra_opts: -j 
    src: "{{wso2_dest}}/wso2is-5.1.0.zip"
    dest: "{{wso2_dest}}"
    remote_src: yes

remote_src: yes --> This will allow you to source a zip file from remote server.

extra_opts: -j --> -j is used to store unzipped files in current working directory without creating a new directory.

In extra_ops we can use any option tags used in unzip command in linux.

For the list of options in unzip command in linux refer this: https://linux.die.net/man/1/unzip

This is bug known for unarchive module.

For unzip, you can add -o option to overwrite files WITHOUT prompting.

command: "unzip -o {{wso2_dest}}/wso2am-1.10.0.zip -d {{wso2_dest}}"

It seems that unarchive should be fixed for ansible >= 2.1.3.0

The unzip variant cannot be fixed.
