activating a conda environment in ansible playbook

Hello

I am trying to run a list of tasks (here running airflow but it could be anything really) that require to be executed in a existing conda environment. I would like to do sth like this:

tasks:

  • name: activate conda environment

does not work, just for the sake of understanding

command: source activate my_conda_env

  • name: initialize the database
    command: airflow initdb

  • name: start the web server
    command: ‘airflow webserver -p {{ airflow_webserver_port }}’

  • name: start the scheduler
    command: airflow scheduler

Of course, this does not work as each task is independent and the conda environment activation in the first task is ignored by the following tasks. I guess the issue would be the same if using a python virtualenv instead of conda. How can I achieve each task being runned in the conda environment?

many thanks
