Add a when-conditional to the second task, so that it only runs if the first one went fine. > Is there a way to do this? my playbook has three tasks, if the install > Django fails i don't want the first two to commit.

Also, tasks are done one after the other, so there is no easy way (at least I know none) to only run if all tasks would succeed. > tasks: > > - name: update > > command: apt-get update I would rather use the apt module here. https://docs.ansible.com/apt_module.html > - name: install pip > > apt: pkg=python-pip Same here. > > > > - name: install django > > command: pip install django You could run this task with a conditional, so it is executed only, if the first two tasks went without errors. If these are your three tasks, what reasons do you have for the first two not to commit, if the third fails? Updating the system and installing pip do not seem to be causing any pain.
