Hello,
I'm running in to an issue with conditional includes. I'm trying to create
an automatic rollback procedure for one of my playbooks which attempts to
deploy new versions of our company software. I'm using includes to abstract
the common roll back tasks to separate YAML files in a directory called
"rollback". I've included a small sample of the playbook below which
includes "rollback/exit.yml" when the result of the previous task failed.
What seems to happen is that ansible includes the tasks from the
rollback/exit.yml file and applies the "when: result|failed" condition to
every task in the included yaml file. This produces the desired result but
does print out a bunch of "skipped" messages as shown below. Is there a way
to tell ansible to only include the tasks if the previous task failed or to
not show the skipped tasks? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm
trying to do?
I'm using a version of the command below to run the playbook (filename of
playbook changed):
ansible-playbook playbooks/company_app.yml -i playbooks/hosts --tags
> "testing"
>
>
playbooks/company_app.yml
---
> - hosts: all
> vars:
> RPM_NAME: 'company_app_pacakge_name'
> remote_user: ansible
> sudo: yes
> #accelerate: true
> tasks:
> - name: Installing new RPM
> yum: "name={{ RPM_NAME }} state=present"
> ignore_errors: true
> tags:
> - testing
> register: result
> - include: rollback/exit.yml
> when: result|failed
> <<snip>>
>
>
playbooks/rollback/exit.yml
---
