Multiple test conditions for when: not working

[matthew...@learnosity.com]

Hi All

I was running an apt_update task and only wanted the server to reboot when it it saw neither of the two lines. Now, what is happening it only sees the first "test" I put in the when: section and ignores the second string to test. The reason for the two tests is I noticed that Debian and Ubuntu have different lines for when they have nothing to update. 

I know Ive done something stupid....

  - name: Run Apt update safe

      command: sudo apt_upgrade_safe

      register: apt_update

- name: Reboot Server

      #command: sudo reboot

      command: echo "test"

      when: "'0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install' or '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed' not in apt_update.stdout"

      register: reboot

I have also tried 

 "(  '0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install' not in ruby_installed_version.stdout) or ( '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed' not in ruby_installed_version.stdout)"

maybe I missed something.... or there is a better way to test for this... :/

This seemed to fix my issue but not sure if this is the way I should do it... any feedback would be lovely

      when:

        - ('0 upgraded, 0 newly installed' not in apt_update.stdout)

        - ('0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install' not in apt_update.stdout)

seems like you wanted:

when: "(  '0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install' not in ruby_installed_version.stdout) and ( '0 upgraded, 0 newly installed' not in ruby_installed_version.stdout)"

making them a list ( -) is an implicit AND.
