Given what Brian pointed out, you can achieve the same effect by using
include_tasks where the tasks file contains the task you want to loop over
followed by a conditional invocation of the pause module. Here's a sample
playbook with some data. Note that the 3rd item has a non-zero pause value.
---
# inc-loop-demo-main.yml
- hosts: localhost
vars:
aaa:
- {able: fee, baker: fie, charlie: foe, pause: 0 }
- {able: nee, baker: nie, charlie: noe, pause: 0 }
- {able: see, baker: sie, charlie: soe, pause: 5 }
- {able: zee, baker: zie, charlie: zoe, pause: 0 }
tasks:
- name: Dump data
debug:
msg: "{{ aaa }}"
- name: Loop over aaa calling inc-loop-demo-tasks.yml
include_tasks: inc-loop-demo-tasks.yml
loop: "{{ aaa }}"
and the task file that it includes:
---
# inc-loop-demo-tasks.yml
- name: show item
debug:
msg: "able: {{ item.able }}, baker: {{ item.baker }}, charlie: {{
item.charlie }}, pause: {{ item.pause }}"
- name: optional delay after prior tasks
pause:
seconds: "{{ item.pause }}"
when: item.pause > 0
Here's a subset of the output:
TASK [show item] *******************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
msg: 'able: nee, baker: nie, charlie: noe, pause: 0'
TASK [optional delay after prior tasks] ********************
skipping: [localhost]
TASK [show item] *******************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
msg: 'able: see, baker: sie, charlie: soe, *pause: 5*'
TASK [optional delay after prior tasks] ********************
*Pausing for 5 seconds*
(ctrl+C then 'C' = continue early, ctrl+C then 'A' = abort)
ok: [localhost]
TASK [show item] *******************************************
ok: [localhost] =>
msg: 'able: zee, baker: zie, charlie: zoe, pause: 0'
TASK [optional delay after prior tasks] ********************
skipping: [localhost]
PLAY RECAP *************************************************
localhost: ok=11 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
skipped=3 rescued=0 ignored=0
