Roles are described later on. It's worth while to point out that handlers are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
automatically processed between 'pre_tasks', 'roles', 'tasks', and 'post_tasks'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sections. If you ever want to flush all the handler commands immediately though,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in 1.2 and later, you can::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- shell: some tasks go here
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- meta: flush_handlers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- shell: some other tasks
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the above example any queued up handlers would be processed early when the 'meta'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
statement was reached. This is a bit of a niche case but can come in handy from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time to time.
