No there are no other modules using that variable. But The question still is: Can i clear The variable somehow?
For now i removed The stat task and when condition -and added a simple Shell if statement instead to the mv operation.

Hi Torsten, Since there is no `when` conditional on the stat task, it should be re-run and overwrite the registered variable, so I'm a bit unclear why this would be showing the behavior you're seeing. Is this the complete list of tasks, and/or there any other tasks that also use that registered variable name?

I have this situation: deploy.yml - include "deploy-apache.yml" - include "deploy-tomcat.yml" deploy-apache and deploy-tomcat both have a dependency to a "deliver-artifact" role, and both run on the same server(s). The {{installdir}} is either opt/web/install/apache or /opt/web/install/tomcat (read from included *.yml files) The following task is implemented in this "shared" "deliver-artifact" role: ... # for each run, backup the old installdir and install into an empty directory - name: stat installdir stat: path={{installdir}} register: installdir_stat - name: get the current time for a timestamp command: date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S register: time - name: backup installdir command: mv {{installdir}} {{installdir}}_{{time.stdout}} when: installdir_stat.stat.exists ... It seems that the "installdir_stat.stat.exists" is true from the "deploy-apache.yml" run - where {{installdir}} was /opt/web/install/apache For "deploy-tomcat.yml" run the task now tries to mv a directory that doesnt exists - but the variable installdir_stat.stat.exists is true ! => Can I clear the register ? Or what´s the solution here? Thanx, Torsten -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
