Nobody got any comments if and where to best report these errors? While my
original mail was more of a rant than a constructive topic, I still have
these errors when I try to put a variable in ignore_errors:
When I directly reference a variable:
ERROR: error while evaluating conditional: ansible_check_mode
>
When I use a jinja placeholder:
Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "/usr/bin/ansible-playbook", line 323, in <module>
> sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
> File "/usr/bin/ansible-playbook", line 263, in main

I have since worked around the problem like this but I hate this kind of
boilerplate:
---
> - hosts: all
> name: testing
> tasks:
> - name: print variable
> action: debug msg="Does variable exist [{{ ansible_check_mode
> }}]"
> - name: Make symlink
> action: file src="/ohwhat/hai" dest="/there/youare" state=link
> ignore_errors: True
> register: symlinkresult
> - name: Fail if symlink could not be created
> action: fail msg="Symlink could not be created"
> when: "{{ not ( ansible_check_mode) and (symlinkresult | failed)
> }}"
>
With best regards,
