When running a task with multiple items using 'with_items', the results are
registered in a variable under 'results' as a list. Is there any way to
apply a filter such as 'any' or 'all' to that list in a conditional on the
next task's execution? The only way I can do something currently is to
perform the following task several times (once for every item in the list
that evaluates as true for my condition). I'd rather not notify a handler,
because the following tasks depend on this task being evaluated.
simple example I just made up to illustrate what I want:
###############################################
- name: run a script to configure network interfaces
lineinfile:
- dest: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-{{item}}"
- ...
- some arbitrary keywords...
- ...
with_items:
- eth0
- eth1
register: configured_network
- name: restart the network service. what I currently do (potentially
restarts network twice)
service: name=network state=restarted
when: item.changed == true
with_items: configured_network.results
- name: mount a share that is on the newly configured network and wasn't
available before
mount: ...
###############################################
I would like to restart the service ONE time on check. Something like:
- name: restart the network service
service: name=network state=restarted
when: any(item.changed == true for item in configured_network.results)
Apologies for the long-winded examples, but I didn't know how else to
convey what I'm interested in. Is this kind of functionality possible???
Thanks,
Patrick
