I would like to know how to loop over multiple tasks until condition is met.
#main.yml
- set_fact: num: 1 req_num: 10 - name: Start to unregister entities include_tasks: output.yml loop: "{{ range(num, req_num + 1)|list }}" #output.yml
- name: get status raw: cat /tmp/output register: rawoutput - name: copy to localhost copy: content: "{{rawoutput.stdout}}" dest: /tmp/output1 delegate_to: localhost - name: reg output2 shell: awk something /tmp/output1 |awk '/something/,0' |head -n something |tail -n something > /tmp/output2 ; cat /tmp/output2 register: output2 delegate_to: localhost - name: compare output2 debug: msg: "{{item}}" with_items: "{{ output2.stdout_lines }}" until: item == "Synced" retries: 2 delay: 2 #cat /tmp/output2
Synced Syncing Synced Failed I am using this, but the playbook quits when the subtask fail.
My goal is to make sure all the content from output2 is "Synced", loop output.yml until the result is "Synced", or failed after x attempts.
Appreciate if there is better way of doing this. thanks Thanks
