Hi,

I have a task as follows:

- hosts: nodes

gather_facts: true

tasks:

- name: CurlCP Status

shell: "curl -Is -m 1 http://localhost:9113/cp/healthcheck"

register: cp_status

failed_when: "'200 OK' not in cp_status.stdout_lines"

It fails even if 200 Ok is in o/p. I want to fail the job only when 200 OK is not in o/p

Pls help here

Try

failed_when: cp_status.stdout_lines|
select('search', '200 OK')|
list|
length == 0

HTH,

Why not use the uri module instead of fragile shell + curl ?
