Check a var with 'meta noop'?

[Guy Matz]

Hi!  I have some ansible code to run a bunch of checks on a system to verify its compliance, and would like to check the kernel against an expected version.  I was hoping this would work:

- name: versions | Check kernel against expected
  meta: noop
  failed_when: false
  changed_when: ansible_kernel != expected_kernel

this just always succeeds and does not show as changed . . .  I don't actually want to run anything, so 'command: /bin/false' seems inappropriate . . .  any recommendations?

Thanks!

Guy

Use debug, if you don't want it to normally display anything use the
verbosity option.
