directory is exists or not

[Bhautik karkar]

Looking for solution. I have write below yml for if directory is exists or not but getting below error. Could you please correct me where I did mistake ?

 

- hosts: compute

  tasks:

  - name: Ansible check directory exists.

    stat:

      path=/etc/yum.repos.d

    register: p

   - debug:

       msg:"Path exists and is a directory"

     when: p.stat.isdir is defined and p.stat.isdir

 

-----------------------------

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.

 

 

The error appears to have been in '/etc/ansible/postchecklist.yml': line 7, column 4, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

 

The offending line appears to be:

 

    register: p

   - debug:

   ^ here

You have wrong indentation, the debug task as one space to much.
It need to be indented at the same level as the stat task.

As @kai mentioned. Your indentation is off. Here is a workable playbook for you https://gist.github.com/mrlesmithjr/039a7bccf342e456dc6f9cbb2474c995

Thanks Kai Stian Olstad,it's work but how we can identify small syntax error ? Which editor is good to use for ansible ?
