This looks elegant, thanks. In my environment when I run the playbook using
this configuration, it fails with the variable showing undefined:
$ ansible-playbook site.yml --limit sinoptik --tags snmpd
PLAY
***************************************************************************
TASK [setup]
*******************************************************************
fatal: [sinoptik]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "Version comparison:
'ansible_distribution_release' is undefined"}
NO MORE HOSTS LEFT
*************************************************************
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************
sinoptik : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
With the suggested test in place in the group_vars file, it also prevents
running the setup module from running with same error:
$ ansible sinoptik -m setup
sinoptik | FAILED! => {
"failed": true,
"msg": "Version comparison: 'ansible_distribution_release' is undefined"
}
I thought this might have something to do with gather_facts or similar, but
I guess I'm stumped at this point.
