Hi I'm trying to see if I can use Ansible to run some tests on network devices. My goal is to execute a lot of "tests", similar to unit tests in software dev, and report what passed and what failed at the end. Right now I'm facing 2 issues that are making it complicated and I would be interested to hear people's feedback here to see if there is a better solution available.
*1/ When a task fails, all remaining tests for this device are not executed.* This is problematic because I would like to have all tests executed all the time and have a clear "report" of how many passed or failed. Today I use "ignore_errors: true" but it's not ideal as if changes the summary. Is there a way to execute all tasks, even after a failure and keep the summary consistent ? *2/ When a task fails, the complete value returned is printed on screen without much formatting,* If makes it difficult to understand why it fails in the first place and it can generate a lot of noise on the screen. Is it possible to print only a portion of the value returned by a module on failure and access the remaining part as a variable.
