I have to call another role as below

- name: Reload Junction  
hosts: all  
connection: local  
roles:
- role: set\_junction  
tags: [“junction”, “set”, “/lo”]  
set\_junction\_junction\_point: “/lo”  
set\_junction\_junction\_type: “ssl”  
set\_junction\_reverseproxy\_id: “{{ reverseproxy\_instance\_name }}”  
set\_junction\_virtual\_hostname: “”  
set\_junction\_server\_hostname: “{{ inventory\_hostname }}”  
set\_junction\_server\_port: “8445”  
set\_junction\_server\_dn: “”  
set\_junction\_mutual\_auth : “yes”  
set\_junction\_basic\_auth\_mode: “filter”  
set\_junction\_remote\_http\_header: [“iv\_user”]

set\_junction\_query\_contents: “/sps/cgi-bin/query\_contents”  
set\_junction\_scripting\_support: “no”

set\_junction\_stateful\_junction: “no”  
set\_junction\_request\_encoding: utf8\_uri  
changed\_when: “‘Server State: not running’ not in junction\_detail\_ret\_obj”

The when statement is not working, I have tried different when statments

when: junction\_detail\_ret\_obj.find(‘Online’) != -1  
when: junction\_detail\_ret\_obj | regex\_search(‘Server State: not running’)

Please help me on this
