Thanks for the input, but that is something that would solve my
requirement only partially.
What I wanted to do was more along the lines of (as someone has
already pointed out, tags do not seem to be exposed in a run):
- name: Run this only and only if the tag was defined
debug: msg="I am tagged, therefore I run"
when: myspecialtag in ansible_tags
tags:
- myspecialtag
For now I think I would need to stick to the --extra-vars in combination
with --tags.
Perhaps a better description of what I want to do is to be able to
rerun handlers only as needed in order to have a way to clean-up
certain broken runs ("meta"-code provided below):
- name: Run handlers only
include: ../handlers/main.yml
when: handlers in ansible_tags
tags:
- handlers
Best regards
