Combine with_items with when.

[Jonas Rottmann]

Hi,

Is it possible to combine with_items with when? so i.e.

- name: Vhosts apache config

  template: src=apache_vhost.j2 dest=/etc/apache2/sites-available/{{ item.domain }}.conf

  with_items: apache.vhosts

  when: "ansible_os_family == 'Debian' and item.state == 'availible'"

  tags:

    - apache

  notify:

    - reload apache2

For this I get:  error while evaluating conditional

so I can choose for the loop if it is run according to an property set on this item?

If not is there a workaround or anything for it?

Thanks

yes, when runs after with_ and can use the item variable, your problem
is with quoting, not the items.

when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian' and item.state == 'available'

The when is always templated (implicit {{ }} around it), if you quote
the whole thing it will get looked at as a string.

Hi,

Without quotes I get the same error without quotes...

- name: Vhosts apache config

  template: src=apache_vhost.j2 dest=/etc/apache2/sites-available/{{ item.domain }}.conf

  with_items: apache.vhosts

  when: ansible_os_family == 'Debian' and item.state == 'availible'

  tags:

    - apache

  notify:

    - reload apache2

does every list entry in apache.vhosts have 'state'?
