try this: - name: Verify ruby version is 1.9 shell: /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/ruby --version |awk '{print $2}' register: status
- fail: "This is bad version" when: status.stdout|version_compare("1.9", "eq") `echo` is not needed as `ruby --version` already prints to screen, but you really only want the version number which is what awk is doing i use version_compare filter as it will match 1.9.x minor versions also, if you don't want this add a ,strict=true to the filter to make sure it is purely 1.9. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
