Ansible Version: 2.8.1

Hi,

I’m trying to get the status of a Kubernetes StatefulSet and wait till it has a specific value.

The task looks like this:

`

- set\_fact:  
myVar: “{{ query(‘k8s’, host=‘myhost.local’, … kind=‘StatefulSet’, label\_selector=‘app=test’) }}”  
retries: 5  
delay: 30  
until: “myVar[0][‘status’][‘readyReplicas’]|int == 3”

`

The problem I have is, the loop is executed but the “myVar” variable is never updated and has it’s initial value.

Has anyone seen or tried this? Is there an alternative?
