So, here's the full site.yml file. If I dont input a revision number (I hit
enter at the prompt), it throws the error message as expected BUT it also
executes the role. I want it to bomb out w/ the error msg and not continue.
---
- hosts: webservers
user: deployment
# serial: 1
vars_prompt:
- name: "revision_no"
prompt: "Input revision number"
private: no
vars_files:
- "group_vars/deploy_list"
tasks:
- name: Checking for required variables
fail: msg="Playbook execution failed - 'revision_no' is required!"
when: not revision_no
roles:
- { role: web, when: revision_no is defined }
