Overriding Changed Result

|

When a task make some changes or sometimes is simply executed, it
|
||||
is reported as changed. You may want to override this. To do so,
|
||||
write a task with the `changed_when` clause, which actually is a
|
||||
Python expression. When this expression evaluates to true the task
|
||||
is considered changed, when it evaluates to false the tasks is
|
||||
considered changed. See below about the `when` clause for details
|
||||
on the expressions you can use. You may also find the `register`
|
||||
keyword useful with `changed_when`, see below.
|
||||
|
||||
Example::
|
||||
tasks:
|
||||
- action: command some command with output
|
||||
register: result
|
||||
changed_when: "'reticulating splines' in result.stdout"
|
||||
- action: command another command
|
||||
register: another_result
|
||||
changed_when: "another_result.rc != 2"
|
||||
- action: command yet another command
|
||||
changed_when: false # never changed !
