Forcing a stop on failure

[Guy Matz]

Hi!  I have a playbook that has three plays, each one deploying software to a set of servers . . .  if any of these plays fail I want the playbook to stop running.  Is that what any_errors_fatal is for?  It sounds like it's close, but I can't tell if in the case of multiple plays it will work as I need.



So the top-level playbook is something like this:



- hosts: set_a


  roles:


    - foo



- hosts: set_b


  roles:


    - bar



- hosts: set_c


  roles:


    - baz



At specific points within the roles foo and bar I would like to stop the run if there are failures, most importantly, I do not want set_c to get updated.  Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!



Thanks a lot!

​There's the fail module for that, to be combined with a when: conditional.

Thanks! What I'm not clear on, though, is where that fail would go?  or what the condition would be . . ?

- hosts: set_b
  roles:
    - bar



- tasks:


  fail: msg='i have failed you'


  when: any tasks for set_b hosts have failed



- hosts: set_c
  roles:
    - baz
