<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44838421/ansible-multiple-an-or-conditionals-in-when-clause/44839565?noredirect=1#>
I am having issues when trying to use multiple and/or conditionals in a
when statement to decide whether a task needs to be ran or not. Basically I
am making a playbook to do automated system patching with options for
security patches, kernel only patches and to specify packages in a var file.
I run the playbook with the following commands and define the variables
through extended variables option (-e)
ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory --ask-vault -u (username)-e
"security=true restart=true" -k -K
By default the playbook will update every package on the system except
kernel but I would like to skip that action if I specify any of a few
variables. The code I have is the following:
- name: Update all packages yum: name: "*" state: latest exclude: "kernel*"
when: security is not defined or kernel is not defined or
specified_packages is not defined and ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
Your last three posted have different explanation of what you are trying
to achieve, but according to this post I think you are looking for this
when: not (security is defined or kernel is defined or
specified_packages is defined) and ansible_os_family == "RedHat"
This only run on RedHat when none of the variables is set.
