[ansible-devel] Setting a fact using action_plugin

[Punit Jain]

Hi,

Is there a way to set fact using action_plugin, than calling set_fact?

Here is my playbook:
---
- hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
    - name: import role
      import_role:
        name: testrole
        tasks_from: test1

    - name: print
      debug:
         msg: "{{testfact}}"

action plugin:

testrole/action_plugins/updatefact.py

from ansible.plugins.action import ActionBase

class ActionModule(ActionBase):
    def run(self, tmp=None, task_vars=None):
      result = super(ActionModule, self).run(tmp, task_vars)
      modresult = self._execute_module(tmp=tmp, task_vars=task_vars)
      task_vars['ansible_facts'].update({"testfact": modresult})
      return modresult

runs a module and return a result which is used to update a fact

I know i am doing wrong but would appreciate any pointers to how to achieve
it?

Regards,
Punit
