When Condition check is not working in a list as expected.

My requirement is

Playbook should not fail If all the three mentioned variables have “no_share” value.
But it’s failing not sure what causing this issue.

  • debug: var=open_shares_info

  • debug: var=linked_dirs_list

  • debug: var=nfs_hard_mounts

  • name: Fail Playbook Execution
    fail:
    msg: “Make sure to unshare/unmount all NFS shares in NFS clients”
    when: (“‘no_share’ not in open_shares_info”) and (“‘no_share’ not in linked_dirs_list”) and and (“‘no_share’ not in nfs_hard_mounts”)

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [rchadm01] => {
“open_shares_info”: “no_share”
}

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [rchadm01] => {
“linked_dirs_list”: “no_share”
}

TASK [debug] *******************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [rchadm01] => {
“nfs_hard_mounts”: “no_share”
}

TASK [Fail Playbook Execution] *************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [rchadm01]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Make sure to unshare/unmount all NFS shares in NFS clients”}

In Jinja template that when uses, quotes, single and double, means this is a string.
So when you put a double quote around the hole expressing you are making it a sting.

In you when its

  a_string and a_string and a_string

Remove the double quotes and it should work. (and also remove the double and)

Thank you, It worked.

One more Requirement Kai,

I need to test the condition If stdout_lines is not defined or the stdout_lines length is 0, then open_shares_info variable should have the no_share value.
Could you check below syntax is correct, I am getting an error when I run it.

  • set_fact:
    open_shares_info: “{{ nfs_open_share.stdout_lines if nfs_open_share.stdout_lines|length != 0 or nfs_open_share.stdout_lines is defined else ‘no_share’ }}”

Why don't you just test it and see if it works.
