Executive summary: skipping a host corrupts a variable (when it is registered) We have a play existing out of multiple tasks that check a condition, if one of these tasks fails we want to skip all next tasks in the playbook. I noticed that if we skip a task because a certain condition is met, and this task has a register-attribute, I loose the value in the variable. Which means we cannot use that variable in subsequent tasks to evaluate because it was skipped: ``` - action: command test -d /some/directory register: task - action: command test -f /some/directory/file register: task only_if: '${task.rc} == 0' - action: do something else only_if: '${task.rc} == 0' ``` In the above example, if the second task is skipped (because the first failed), the third action will end with a "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" complaining about the unsubstituted ${task.rc} (even though it was set by the first task and used for skipping the second). The following play demonstrates the problem: ``` - name: Test register on ignored tasks hosts: all gather_facts: no vars: skip: true task: { 'rc': 666 } tasks: - action: debug msg='skip = ${skip}, task.rc = ${task.rc}' - name: Skip this task, just to test if task has changed action: command ls register: task only_if: '${skip} != True' - action: debug msg='skip = ${skip}, task.rc = ${task.rc}' - name: Now use task value action: command echo 'Works !' only_if: '${task.rc} == 0' ``` And the enclosed fix, fixes the above problem. |
