Hi,
Just had one more question. Is there a way to stop an Ansible playbook or
set of lines from executing if a variable matches a specific text? I saw
the Ansible conditionals documentation
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_conditionals.html>,
however it doesn't provide good examples on how to achieve this with a
"when:" statement nor does it tell where would be best to insert these
conditionals to prevent the specific lines from executing.
Here's my script
---
- hosts: all
become: yes
vars_prompt:
- name: "new_user"
prompt: "What is the name of the new user?"
when: new_user != "root"
vars_prompt doesn't support when, only task does.
tasks:
- name: some function
command: .....
- name: another function
command: .....
Do I tack the "when:" conditional on at the end of the vars_prompt: or
after each "command:" function below that to stop the commands from being
run?
You would need it on each task.
But you can group task together with block: and set the when on the
block. Then Ansible will add when on all the task
Or put all the task in a file, and use include: <file> and add the when
to the include, here too Ansible will add when to each task.
