question about tags

[John Petro]

I have a bit of a problem, and was wondering if anyone has ever done something like this.  I have a playbook I am working on, where it updates firewalld rules for some kubernetes clusters we have.  Rather than have a playbook per cluster, we elected to use tags, one for prod, one for nonprod, and one for beta. 

What I am trying to do, is have task, that if it isn't one of the three mentioned tags ( Prod, Non-Prod, Beta) then it executes, basically outputting a debug message that the only accepted tags are those three.  Is there a way to say something like "If tags !=[Prod,Non-Prod,Beta] then output text"?  

I was fairly sure that at some point I saw that there was a way to do that, and I can't seem to find the example anymore so any help anyone can offer wold be greatly appreciated.

You could inspect ansible_run_tags and see if those three tags are not in it.

oh, that is cool.  I didn't know about that one.  Thanks, I will check it out.

I find https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.8/reference_appendices/special_variables.html to be a gold mine for these kinds of things. Just match it with whatever version of Ansible you're supporting.
