Hey Experts,

I have written Ansible module. I am using it in multiple places.

at times our software won’t give output for the first time. so when we use retry option, our software gives output on 2nd or 3rd attempt.

so when Ansible is retrying for 2nd or 3rd time, it will retry the entire module. But my requirement is to retry the methods which is failed only.

Do we have support of retrying only failed methods? Else how can I implement that?

Thanks,  
Rajas

Ansible ha a separate list for development questions, you might have more luck there than here in the user list.
