Need help in polling the ansible task

Hi Geeks ,
I have a task as below which returns me some data. I want to continuously poll this request until I get a specific attribute in response as true.
Here is the response from the playbook sample1.yml:

{“_id”:“89494fnfi04m0”,“price”:“$17”,“isFetched”: false}

cat sample1.yml

You can register it and use retries until it gets something you want . The. You can call you second playbook with your when condition .

You have to provide the exact output to get condition .

Until: register.somthing.isFetched == true

Thanks Vinoth ! Once i put condition like that:
until: result[‘results’][0].content.isFetched == True

It says
“msg”: “The conditional check ‘result[‘results’][0].content.isFetched == True’ failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (result[‘results’][0].content.isFetched == True): ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘results’”

But in next task if i print same thing:

  • name: Print Response of status resource
    debug:
    msg: “Boss Version: {{ result[‘results’][0].content.isFetched }}”

It gives me output:
“msg”: “Boss Version: True”
I am not sure how until works , does it wait till some condition becomes true with continuous polling ?
