Hi,  
I want to execute certain tasks in loop until some condition satisfied.  
Here is main module:

- name: Wait MainStatus Playbook  
vars:  
cosId: “{{realCosId}}”  
jsonStatus: {“status”:‘in-progress’}  
hosts: all  
tasks:
- name: Debug  
debug:  
msg: “{{jsonStatus.status}}”
- name: Loop  
include\_tasks: waittask.yml  
until: “‘{{jsonStatus.status}}’ ==‘in-progress’”  
retries: 5  
delay: 2
- name: Debug 2  
debug:  
msg: “{{jsonStatus.status}}”

It is executes task waittask.yml only once. However , variable jsonStatus still have value “in-progress”  
Also , it is ignoring “delay” and “retries”

I tried “include” - result is the same

Any other options?

I want to executed tasks until some variable has certain value

Thanks,  
Dmitriy
