Ok so I have this code(using version 2.0.1.0 of ansible):
<pre>
---
- hosts: localhost
become: yes
gather_facts: yes
vars:
version: "6.5.5"
vars_files:
- vars/{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml
roles:
- role: ubuntu_packages
tags: ubuntu_packages
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
- role: redhat_packages
tags: redhat_packages
when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
- role: windows_packages
tags: windows_packages
when: ansible_os_family == "Windows"
</pre>
But when I run it using ansible-playbook foo.yml, Im getting:
<pre>
PLAY

PLAY RECAP

</pre>
In other words the "when" statement is simply ignored when chosing the role
and it executes the RedHat role right after the Ubuntu role although it
shouldn't since ansible_os_family is Debian and if the when statement would
work then there should be no error here. Seems like a serious bug in
ansible.
Note: Tests are being done on ubuntu 14.04
