Hi Ansible Gurus, I have a playbook like below: - name: Get Active Rest server include\_role: name: web-server tasks\_from: active-rest-server Now I have a playbook under the web-server role named active-rest-server.yml ! So in case active-rest-server fails , can i use ignor\_errors in above snippet as well or i have to use it in that task only ? - name: Get Active Rest server include\_role: name: web-server tasks\_from: active-rest-server ignore\_errors: True is that ok to do in case i want to ignore errors?

So why do you want to ignore errors? That seems like a bad approach to me. Regards         Racke ---

Logic is like if an application could not be deployed , forcefully shutdown the application server rather than stopping before only! ---

The variables registered during processing the tasks from active-rest-server.yml are not available to a regular when:, as they are checked before the task file is loaded. However, you probably can use them in a failed\_when: condition. Regards         Racke
