Hi all,

I need to execute a script every time PLAY RECAP failed=1, how can I configure my Ansible Playbook to do this?

Thanks.

Check Ansible block. It has a rescue section.

Hi Tcpip,

You must use this syntax task :

**- name: my task**  
**shell: ./my\_script**  
**when: my\_variable == “1”**

./my\_script ==\> the way of my script with a point front  
my\_variable can be PLAY\_RECAP

tell me about this solution please.

Thank you

Hello ryad9200000,

I can this variable info at the end of my playbook so when I fails It will run the script. If I put PLAY\_RECAP ==“0” this will mean that the playbook finished ok ?

Thanks for your help.

If you spot, in the logs, it shows that it’s breaking on the “ethernet0/1”, and, if I read it right that’s in the “/” in that… So it’s probably worth wrapping any instance of “ethernet0/1” in quotes, like I did.

Give that a whirl, and try again 🙂

Hello Jon

Yes I know the issue and it was intentional, what Im trying to do is to test if this works or not.

- name: my task  
shell: ./print.py  
when: failed == ‘1’  
register: task  
tags: task

Thanks.
