Hey, so I have the following sequence where I first register a variable,
then want to evaluate stats from it later but I want the stats from when
the variable was first created. What is the best way to do this?
I could see registering a second variable immedeatly that evaulates
properties of the variable that was just registered, but it doesn't seem
too 'clean' of a method.
What I am trying to do here is register a variable about a directory path,
and only 'mysql_install_db' if that directory doesn't exist. However, I
have to create that directory at some point, so by the time I run
'mysql_install_db' that 'p.stat.isdir' will evaluate to true every time,
even if it didn't exist a second ago. So I somehow need to define and cache
a variable one step ahead.
- stat: path=/mnt/mysql
register: p
- name: Create /mnt/mysql directory for database
file:
path: /mnt/mysql
state: directory
mode: 0750
owner: mysql
group: mysql
- name: Install mysql database in atypical datadir
command: mysql_install_db --user=mysql --datadir=/mnt/mysql
when: p.stat.isdir is defined and p.stat.isdir == False
Thanks for any help. It is greatly appriciated!
