I am trying to rename a folder on a remote if it exists. this is being done via a role.
====== my two tasks =============================================================== - name: move legacy postgres - stat postgres_data stat: path="{{ postgres_data }}" register: postgres_data - name: move legacy postgres - rename $PGDATA to /opt/db/data/postgres/data_legacy command: mv "{{ postgres_data }}" "{{ postgres_data_legacy }}" when: postgres_data.stat.exists =================================================================================== the mv command fails if I am using variables as above. When I use hard-coded locations the mv operation is being executed as expected ====== defaults file (excerpt) ==================================================== ansible_become_user: postgres ... ... postgres_data: /opt/db/data/postgres/data postgres_data_legacy: /opt/db/data/postgres/data_legacy ... =================================================================================== generally the tasks/main.yaml file seems to be able to get values from the defaults/main.yml Still fot the operation at hand here I am getting this error: ====== error TASK 2 =============================================================== TASK [postgres_disable : move legacy postgres - rename $PGDATA to /opt/db/data/postgres/data_legacy] ****************************** task
