"I want to throw a warning or error if the variable is not set to one of

- debug: msg="Hey, this might sound crazy, but this variable is not set to
duck or goose"
when: "var_name != 'duck and variable != 'goose'"
"or even optionally just use the ansible_ssh_host or
ansible_inventory_hostname if there is no match. "
{{ var_name | default(ansible_ssh_host) }}
only_if has been a deprecated feature for ages, and when absolutely does
