Overriding Changed Result
`````````````````````````
.. versionadded:: 1.3
When a task make some changes or sometimes is simply executed, it
is reported as changed. You may want to override this. To do so,
write a task with the `changed_when` clause, which actually is a
Python expression. When this expression evaluates to true the task
is considered changed, when it evaluates to false the tasks is
considered changed. See below about the `when` clause for details
on the expressions you can use. You may also find the `register`
keyword useful with `changed_when`, see below.
Example::
tasks:
- action: command some command with output
register: result
changed_when: "'reticulating splines' in result.stdout"
- action: command another command
register: another_result
changed_when: "another_result.rc != 2"
- action: command yet another command
changed_when: false # never changed !
