Hi James, the variable ansible_version is available for this. Here's an
example of the debug output of this variable:
TASK: [debug var=ansible_version]
*********************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {
"ansible_version": {
"full": "1.8",
"major": 1,
"minor": 8,
"revision": 0,
"string": "..."
}
}
The "string" portion contains what is shown when you run something like
"ansible-playbook --version", I've just omitted here since it's a pretty
long string.
Hope that helps!
