Conditional Module Parameter Help please.

[Joe Rosiak]

Hi all,

I am attempting to create a custom module and when I am defining the custom parameters.

Example.  I have this section defined and I only want to packagename required if someone passes "add_package_to_content_view" as an action.

  fields = {

        "organization": {"required": True, "type": "str"},

        "satelliteurl": {"required": True, "type": "str"},

        "cvname": {"required": True, "type": "str"},

        "action": {"required": True, "type": "str", "choices": ["create_standard_content_view","create_custom_content_view","add_repo_to_content_view","add_package_to_content_view"]},

        "packagename": {"required": False, "type": "str"}

  }

Is there a way to mark certain params as required in this above example or do I have to define the condition after everything is set?

Try this:

    required_if = [
        ('action', 'add_package_to_content_view', ['packagename']),
    ]
    module = AnsibleModule(argument_spec=argument_spec,
                           required_if=required_if)
