Hi,
I would like to use the when condition to execute tasks based on group names in ansible.
I am using this code snipit
when: ({{group_names}} == "web-server")
But it always skips.
Can someone please correct me.
when: ‘“web-server” in group_names’
group_names is an array/list so you have to check if ‘web-server’ exists within it.
Have you though about creating another play and just including those tasks under that play?
-
hosts: all
tasks: -
name: do task A
… -
hosts: webservers
tasks: -
name: do tasks A only for webservers
I maybe oversimplifying your workflow but it could help decouple your tasks for re-usability later on.
