This doesn’t seem to be a do/until problem, since the command is failing because a binary is not present.

Example:

- hosts: all

tasks:

- shell: /usr/bin/wrong

register: blip

delay: 1

retries: 4

until: blip.stdout.find(“3”)

However, it’s also not apparently true that ignore\_errors is used when deciding to retry, so this is a buglet, which I’ll file because we need to deal with it:

- hosts: all

tasks:

- shell: /usr/bin/false

register: blip

delay: 1

ignore\_errors: True

retries: 4

until: blip.stdout.find(“3”)

ignore\_errors: True
