Hi, I am fairly new to Ansible, so would appreciate some help.
I am trying to look in a .csv or .txt file. I need to email it when
the
entry '0 rows' does not appear. Basically the file has been produced
by a
software vendor, and a result of '0 rows' confirms no errors. Any
other
result would mean there are errors.
I have tried the following code, after not having much success with
'lineinfile'. However, the play emails me whether it has found the
text or
not.
lineinfile is used to add line(s) to a file.
I did try a debug argument on it to view the output and noted that
'json' was full off characters similar to:
"presence.stdout": "ÿþJ\u0000o\u0000b\u0000
\u0000'\u0000P\u0000a\u0000u\u0000s\u0000e\u0000
\u0000a\u0000n\u0000d\u0000
However, the 'standard out' does contain the information I require:
(0 rows(s) affected)
Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks.
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: read the fileout file
shell: cat /directory/directory/fileout.txt
register: presence
- name: a task that only happens if the entry exists
when: "'0 rows' not in presence"
So you information is in presence.stdout but you are using presence
instead.
presence is a dictionary that contain a lot of information about the
shell task, the output of the command in the shell is stored in
presence.stdout so you need to use that one.
