PM> Since ansible 2.2.0 when using a when condition for a block, inner PM> when are no more evaluated and are executed.
Hmm, I can't reproduce this. In your example playbook, you say "blocks" rather than "block", but that gives an immediate syntax error. Here's how I tried to reproduce it. foo.yml: - hosts: localhost tasks: - block: - include: alpha.yml when: checkpoint_alpha is defined - include: bravo.yml when: checkpoint_bravo is defined when: checkpoints is defined alpha.yml: - debug: msg="checkpoint alpha" bravo.yml: - debug: msg="checkpoint bravo" If I run foo.yml with: (no extra-vars) --extra-vars "checkpoint_alpha=1" --extra-vars "checkpoint_alpha=1 checkpoints=1" --extra-vars "checkpoint_alpha=1 checkpoint_bravo=1 checkpoints=1" The first two don't print any debug messages; the third prints the alpha debug message but not the bravo on; the fourth prints both debug messages. Same behavior in 2.1.1.0-1 and 2.2.0.0-1. -Josh (j...@care.com) (apologies for the automatic corporate disclaimer that follows) This email is intended for the person(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED or CONFIDENTIAL.
