Is there a way to set a variable in a task such that it has global scope?
I want to do something like this:
- hosts: all
serial: 1
vars:
foo_first_host: True
tasks:
- name: pause after the first host (expect "skipping" for subsequent
hosts)
pause:
prompt: Pausing after the first host; hit return to do the rest
when: foo_first_host
- set_fact:
foo_first_host: False
The problem is that set_fact seems to set the variable only in the current
host, which means that when the next host runs, the variable isn't set any
more. http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/set_fact_module.html says it right
there: "Variables are set on a host-by-host basis just like facts
discovered by the setup module."
Is there some other way to do what I'm trying to do there? I can think of
some other ideas, like using add_host to add a host to a group, and test
if the group is empty, but that seems sort of hokey.
