failed_when directive not working when task runs on multiple hosts

[Ard-Jan Barnas]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to stop further execution of a playbook if only one of the hosts fails. My inventory contains two hosts assigned to the same group, so the playbook runs on both hosts. Considering I am standing up a failover cluster, I want the playbook to stop, and thus not continue on the second, non-failed host.

Here is an excerpt of one of the tasks in my playbook:

- name: configureQuorum
  script: configureQuorum.ps1
  register: result
  ignore_errors: true
  failed_when: ( result.rc != 0 )
 

The failed_when directive doesn't do the trick. Any ideas?

failure, success and changed are always per host, failed_when will
only determine when a particular host has failed.

What you want is a subsequent fail: directive

fail:
when: "{{'failed' in result}}"
