Hello,
Still the warning "It is unnecessary to use '{{' in conditionals".
I have read old posts on this subject and the ticket
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/4582
I am using latest devel release.
But I don't understand why I get this message and if I am using the good
way of doing what I want.
I have to make a lot of tasks under certain conditions.
In order to simplify, I do something like this;
- shell: something
register st
- set_fact: flag=0
- set_fact: flag=1
when: cur_sw.stdout == "something'
- shell: something else
when: flag==1
...
So, I use a fact as a boolean flag to skip or not following tasks.
If flag==1, I execute the following tasks and then update again flag
according to the result.
And if still 1, I execute some other tasks.
My problem is that when I do:
when: flag==1
it does not work: it always skip the task.
In order to have it to work, I have to do:
when: "{{flag}}==1"
But when I do that, I have the warning:
It is unnecessary to use '{{' in conditionals, leave variables in loop
expressions bare.
I can avoid the warning by doing:
when: "1=={{flag}}"
but it is only a poor trick!
Please, could you explain me why
when: flag==1
does not work?
Thanks for your help!
