Hi all, I have a problem, i think there is a bug in ansible 2.8.0 but when i run this task : - pause: prompt: “Voulez-vous effectuer ce deploiement ? (o/n)” register: response - debug: msg: “deploiement effectue” when: response == “o” - meta: end\_play when: response != “o” The condition **when: response != “0”** not works !! So, when i grab “o” for answer at the question **“Voulez-vous effectuer ce deploiement ? (o/n)”,** this task is play or he must exit !! Why ? Thank for your help guy !! 🙂 ---

Perhaps because you don't read the documentation and instead said there's a bug 😉 You asks a lot of questions in little time on the list, try a little bit to learn by yourself A little more functionning sample should probably be : - hosts: localhost    tasks:    - name: "Prompt it"      pause:        prompt: "Voulez-vous effectuer ce deploiement ? (o/n)"      register: response    - name: "Print value of register"      debug:        msg: "print value of register : {{ response }}"    - name: "Affiche si o est presse"      debug:        msg: "deploiement effectue"      when: response.user\_input == "o"    - name: "Aller a la fin si o n est pas presse"      meta: end\_play      when: response.user\_input != "o"    - name: "This is something after it"      debug:        msg: "Print it" Regards, JYL ---

And by the way, ansible 2.8.0 did'nt seem to exist yet... version 2.7.7 is the last stable release Regards, JYL ---

Thank you very much Jean-Yves, But i don’t have a time, i must find solutions quickly. And Documentation Ansible is so big and it’s so difficult for find solution in this documentation. When i write in recherche documentation ansible exemple “when”, it’s don’t works recherche 😕 Thank you ! ---
