Hello,
I want to run a check in my playbook for the current version of ruby package installed and if its not the version Im expecting then fail the play.
How can I go about doing this?
Thanks
Mike
An example of what I think might work.
- name: Verify ruby version is 1.9
shell: echo /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/ruby --version
register: status
- fail: “This is bad version”
when: var=status.stdout_lines != “1.9”
try this:
- name: Verify ruby version is 1.9
shell: /opt/vagrant_ruby/bin/ruby --version |awk '{print $2}'
register: status
- fail: "This is bad version"
when: status.stdout|version_compare("1.9", "eq")
`echo` is not needed as `ruby --version` already prints to screen, but
you really only want the version number which is what awk is doing
i use version_compare filter as it will match 1.9.x minor versions
also, if you don't want this add a ,strict=true to the filter to make
sure it is purely 1.9.
