Hi All,

I am trying to implement an conditional statement and if it is true , it should accept yes and continue for next step if not then it should terminate . Below playbook is not reading vaue like what we do in shell script with Echo “…” read value etc.

Any help ?

  • hosts: localhost
    gather_facts: False

tasks:

  • name: Fetch Java version
    shell: java -version 2>&1 | grep version | awk ‘{print $3}’ | sed ‘s/"//g’
    register: java_result

  • debug:
    msg: “{{ java_result.stdout }}”

  • name: condition when passed
    debug: msg=“passed”
    when: java_result.stdout != “1.8.0_131”
    vars_prompt:

  • name: condition
    prompt: " Do you want to continue?"
    confirm: yes
    debug: msg= “stop”
    when: java_result.stdout == “1.8.0_131”

Thanks,
Manish

I would suggest to use the assert module to make sure a condition is met and bails out if the condition is false.
