Hello
- debug:
var: hostvars
shows all the hosts in my inventory file, so I believe my playbook has
access to all hosts. To hash out issue with inventory file, I modified my
code as below.
------------------
- hosts: *hostname2*
tasks:
-
file:
path: "/home/ansible_user/from_controller3/file_name"
state: touch
when: "hostvars['*hostname2*']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] ==
'CentOS'"
---------------------
*hostname2 *is mentioned near hosts and near when. I still get following
error
--------------
FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check
'hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS''
failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional
(hostvars['hostname2']['ansible_facts']['distribution'] == 'CentOS'):
\"hostvars['hostname2']\" is undefined
--------------
Any thoughts ?
