Hi,

I have a new problem,

When i want test exemple:

- debug:  
msg: “ca fonctionne”  
when: ansible\_user[5] == true

it don’t works. I want show this message **“ca fonctionne”** when ansible\_user[5] exist

So when ansible\_user == true

But this syntax don’t works.

Thank you

Thank you very much,

You are the best,

We can use :

ansible\_user[5] is defined

and

ansible\_user[5] is not defined

😉
