Hi

I am not able to use the Vm Poweredoff status in my when clause.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it.

- name: "Collecting Vmware Guest Facts"
  hosts: localhost

  vars:
    msg: |
         {{ value.instance.hw_power_status }}

  tasks:
    - name: Gathering Facts
      vmware_guest_facts:
        hostname: 192.168.119.129
        username: root
        password: xxxxxxx
        datacenter: vntgautvol-64.localdomain
        uuid: 564d6556-765a-d5eb-dcc9-711988d1e157
        validate_certs: no

      register: value

    - debug:
        msg: "Vm_Power_status: {{ msg[:-1] }}"

    - name: Checking some value
      command: echo vm is "{{ msg }}"
      register: val

      when: msg == "poweredOff"

Error::-
