Re: [ansible-project] Help with Conditions

[Brian Coca]

I would use vars to simplify the tasks themselves, alternatively you
could use a block to establish the common condition

- name:  run when not powered off
   vmware_guest_powerstate:
   hostname: '{{ mdb_console.json.0[resolved_name]}}'
   ...
  vars:
   powerstate: '{{ (json_file.stdout | from_json).power_state}}'
   console_defined : '{{ mdb_console.json.0['console'] is defined}}'
   resolved_name: '{{ console_defined|ternary("console", "vconsole")}}'
  when: 'powerstate != "poweredOff"'

[ansible-project] Help with Conditions

[David Foley]

Hi All,

Just wondering is their a better way of doing the Following?


---
- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - name: Getting vCenter Details 
uri:
  url: http:///mdb/{{ fqdn }}
  return_content: yes
  body_format: json
register: mdb_console
  - copy:
  content: "{{ mdb_console }}"
  dest: 
"/usr2/dfoley/jenkins/workspace/vSphere/Virtual_Machine_Decommissioning/mdb_console.json"


  - name: Getting VM Info
block:
  - name: Get virtual machine info 
vmware_vm_info:
  validate_certs: no
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['console'] }}"
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
delegate_to: localhost
register: vm_info
when: mdb_console.json.0['console'] is defined
  - copy:
  content: "{{ item }}"
  dest: 
"/usr2/dfoley/jenkins/workspace/vSphere/Virtual_Machine_Decommissioning/MachineInfo.json"
with_items:
  - "{{ vm_info.virtual_machines | json_query(query) }}"
vars:
  query: "[?guest_name=='{{ VM_Name }}']"


  - name: Getting VM Info
block:
  - name: Get virtual machine info
vmware_vm_info:
  validate_certs: no
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['vconsole'] }}"
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
delegate_to: localhost
register: vm_info
when: mdb_console.json.0['console'] is not defined
  - copy:
  content: "{{ item }}"
  dest: 
"/usr2/dfoley/jenkins/workspace/vSphere/Virtual_Machine_Decommissioning/MachineInfo.json"
with_items:
  - "{{ vm_info.virtual_machines | json_query(query) }}"
vars:
  query: "[?guest_name=='{{ VM_Name }}']"


  
  - name: Read Json File
shell: cat /usr2/dfoley/jenkins/workspace/vSphere/
Virtual_Machine_Decommissioning/MachineInfo.json
register: json_file


  - name: Power Down Virutal Machine
vmware_guest_powerstate:
  validate_certs: no
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['console'] }}"
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
  name: "{{ VM_Name }}"
  state: powered-off
delegate_to: localhost
when: (json_file.stdout | from_json).power_state != "poweredOff" and 
mdb_console.json.0['console'] is defined


  - name: Power Down Virutal Machine
vmware_guest_powerstate:
  validate_certs: no
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['vconsole'] }}"
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
  name: "{{ VM_Name }}"
  state: powered-off
delegate_to: localhost
when: (json_file.stdout | from_json).power_state != "poweredOff" and 
mdb_console.json.0['console'] is not defined



Looking at maybe something I'm used to with Salt.

- name: Power Down Virutal Machine
vmware_guest_powerstate:
  validate_certs: no
 {% if mdb_console.json.0['console is defind %}
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['console'] }}"
 {% else %}
  hostname: "{{ mdb_console.json.0['vconsole'] }}"
 {% endif %} 
  username: "{{ user }}"
  password: "{{ pass }}"
  name: "{{ VM_Name }}"
  state: powered-off
delegate_to: localhost
when: (json_file.stdout | from_json).power_state != "poweredOff"
