Before I file a ticket, I just want to make sure I'm not doing
anything wrong. BTW, this is a simplified example to reproduce the
problem, not what I was actually trying to do. I have this simple
playbook test.yml:
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
tasks:
- set_fact: foo=false
- command: ls /
when: not foo
Executed like this:
ansible-playbook -i '127.0.0.1,' test.yml
Which results in the following output:
PLAY [127.0.0.1] **************************************************************
GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1]
TASK: [set_fact foo=false] ****************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1]
TASK: [command ls /] **********************************************************
skipping: [127.0.0.1]
Notice the last task is skipped. So for some reason it's not following
the logic of the when clause like I'd expect. But the really weird
thing is that if I change the task to say "when: foo" (reverse the
logic) I get the same output:
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
tasks:
- set_fact: foo=false
- command: ls /
when: foo
Executed like this: ansible-playbook -i '127.0.0.1,' test.yml
PLAY [127.0.0.1] **************************************************************
GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1]
TASK: [set_fact foo=false] ****************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1]
TASK: [command ls /] **********************************************************
skipping: [127.0.0.1]
Same output. So even if something with my logic was wrong (for
instance set_fact didn't like the literal "false") you would still
think that taking out the "not" would result in the task being
executed.

Am I doing something wrong? Or should I file a bug report?
