@ -338,8 +338,27 @@ Tip: Sometimes you'll get back a variable that's a string and you'll want to do
|
|
|
|
|
- shell: echo "only on Red Hat 6, derivatives, and later"
|
|
|
|
|
when: ansible_os_family == "RedHat" and ansible_lsb.major_release|int >= 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note the above example requires the lsb_release package on the target host in order to return the ansible_lsb.major_release fact.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variables defined in the playbooks or inventory can also be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An example may be the execution of a task based on a variable's boolean value::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vars:
|
|
|
|
|
epic: true
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then a conditional execution with action on the boolean value of epic being True::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
|
- shell: echo "This certainly is epic!"
|
|
|
|
|
when: epic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With a boolean value of False::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
|
- shell: echo "This certainly isn't epic!"
|
|
|
|
|
when: not epic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a required variable has not been set, you can skip or fail using Jinja2's
|
|
|
|
|
`defined` test. For example::
