Trying to do a conditional that when my inventory host name once converted
to a string is greater than a number
Inventory file
server1
server2
server3 -
..
..
..
..
..
server205
this is the important parts of the role
- name: vmotion {{ inventory_hostname }}
vmware_vmotion:
hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
username: "{{ vcenter_username }}
password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
vm_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
destination_datastore: "TP1"
when: "`(inventory_hostname | regex_replace('.*([0-9]+).*', '\\1') |
int) > 150`"
delegate_to: localhost
- name: vmotion {{ inventory_hostname }}
vmware_vmotion:
hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
username: "{{ vcenter_username }}@scriptpro.com"
password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
vm_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
destination_datastore: "TP2"
when: "`(inventory_hostname | regex_replace('.*([0-9]+).*', '\\1') |
int) 180`"
delegate_to: localhost
it fails with
": "The conditional check '`(inventory_hostname |
regex_replace('.*([0-9]+).*', '\\1') | int) is even`' failed. The error
was: template error while templating string: unexpected char u'`' at 6.
String: {% if `(inventory_hostname | regex_replace('.*([0-9]+).*', '\\1') |
int) is even` %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}\n\nThe error appears to
have been in '/etc/ansible/roles/vmotion_app/tasks/main.yml': line 2,
column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax
problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n---\n- name: vmotion {{
inventory_hostname }}\n ^ here\nWe could be wrong, but this one looks like
it might be an issue with\nmissing quotes. Always quote template
expression brackets when they\nstart a value. For instance:\n\n
with_items:\n - {{ foo }}\n\nShould be written as:\n\n
with_items:\n - \"{{ foo }}\"\n"}
any thoughts are appreciated
