Hi all, I'm using Ansible 2.5.11, using the EC2 dynamic inventory script. I'm trying to do some tasks over an instance with a role using block and rescue, so if one of the tasks fails, the rescue task runs (removing the instance). But I don't know why the rescue tasks never runs.
I'm running a playbook which executes the roles, like this: # Install common packages and tasks, and deploy software - hosts: tag_Environment_Development:&tag_Role_Pilot:&tag_Name_Backend gather_facts: True vars_files: - variables-dev.yml roles: - deploy-api And the role deploy-api/tasks/main.yml looks like this: --- - block: - name: Create .ssh path for user become: yes file: path: "{{ deploy_path }}/.ssh" owner: example group: example state: directory mode: 0700 tags: - backend - ssh - name: Upload RSA public key become: yes template: src: 'templates/example-id_rsa.pub' dest: "{{ deploy_path }}/.ssh/authorized_keys" owner: example group: example mode: 0640 tags: - backend - ssh [ ...More stuff... ] - rescue: - name: Get Temporal Backend Pilot Instance ID ec2_instance_facts: region: "{{ ec2_region }}" filters: "tag:App": EXAMPLE "tag:Name": Backend Dev "tag:Role": Pilot "tag:Environment": Development "instance-state-name": running register: ec2_instance_facts_rescue tags: - backend - rescue - name: Cleanup Pilot instance ec2: aws_access_key: "{{ec2_access_key}}" aws_secret_key: "{{ec2_secret_key}}" region: "{{ ec2_region }}" state: 'absent' instance_ids: '{{ ec2_instance_facts_rescue.instances.0.instance_id }}' when: ec2_instance_facts_rescue.instances != "" tags: - backend - rescue But, in fact, the rescue code is never executed. I'm not sure if I understand correctly how block&rescue works, can somebody help me? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
