Ansible : Use Playbook#3
2015/04/22
 
To use "when", "failed_when", it's possible to write branch condition in Ansible Playbook.
[1] For example, create a Playbook which only if it does not exist "/var/www/html/index.html", create it on target hosts.
[cent@dlp ~]$
vi playbook_sample.yml
# set boolean with failed_when

# create "index.html" if result of boolean is "1"

- hosts: target_servers
  become: yes
  become_method: sudo
  tasks:
  - name: index file exists or not
    shell: test -f /var/www/html/index.html
    ignore_errors: true
    register: file_exists
    failed_when: file_exists.rc not in [0, 1]

  - name: put index.html
    shell: echo "httpd index" > /var/www/html/index.html
    when: file_exists.rc == 1
[cent@dlp ~]$
ansible-playbook playbook_sample.yml --ask-become-pass
