Hello list,
I'm having a problem with adding a condition before a lookup plugin.
A simplified example that everyone can reproduce is this:
- debug: msg="This debug message should not be triggerd since some_dict is
not defined"
when: some_dict is defined
with_dict: some_dict
That doesn't work because *with_dict* is processed before the condition is
checked. That's not wrong, that's a good feature, because it enables you to
do things like this:
- debug: msg="Only process item a"
when: item == "a"
with_items:
- a
- b
How could I solve my problem with having a condition before the task fails,
because some_dict is not defined in my first example?
Not even an *ignore_errors: yes* helps in this case. I guess because it is
a fatal error raised by the plugin and not simply a failed task.
TASK: [debug msg="This debug message should not be triggerd since some_dict
is not defined"] ***
fatal: [test1.local] => with_dict expects a dict
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
Thanks,
Daniel
