Ok wrote this simple playbook just to test it:
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
connection: local
sudo: false
tasks:
- set_fact:
vard: "Chassis Power is on"
- shell: "echo {{ vard }} | grep 'Chassis Power is on'"
ignore_errors: yes
register: vard_result
- debug: msg="Found it!"
when: vard_result.rc == 0
with_items: vard_result.stdout_lines
- debug: msg="Found it again!"
when: vard_result.stdout.find('Chassis Power is on') != -1
- debug: msg="Found it again and again!"
when: "'Chassis Power is on' in vard"
the run output:
$ ansible-playbook -i local tt4.yml
PLAY [localhost]
**************************************************************
TASK: [set_fact ]
*************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK: [shell echo {{ motd }} | grep 'Chassis Power is on']
********************
changed: [localhost]
TASK: [debug msg="Found it!"]
*************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=Chassis Power is on) => {
"item": "Chassis Power is on",
"msg": "Found it!"
}
TASK: [debug msg="Found it again!"]
*******************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "Found it again!"
}
TASK: [debug msg="Found it again and again!"]
*********************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "Found it again and again!"
so no surprises here I can match the string in 3 different ways. This is
based on the result of running ipmi on one of my servers:
root@virtual:~# ipmitool power status
Chassis Power is on
root@virtual:~#
which shows a single line being returned upon execution.
Now the only thing I can think of is that this might be different in your
case. Do you mind showing us the output of your playbook run? I'm
especially interested to see the output of
debug: var=power.stdout
Cheers,
Igor
