Help with loop tasks Ansible

[voishunter]

I have a trouble with my tasks and can't find solution. Maybe u can help me) I need to loop this tasks if

"{{country_info_loop}} != {{region}}"

but if

"{{country_info_loop}} == {{region}}"

then stop it.

  - name: Start Check...

    block:

      - name: Create a new Droplet

        community.digitalocean.digital_ocean_droplet:

          state: present

          oauth_token: "{{oauth_token}}"

          name: "{{drop_name}}"

          size: s-1vcpu-1gb

          region: "{{region}}"

          image: "ubuntu-18-04-x64"

          wait_timeout: 500

          ssh_keys:

              - "{{ ssh_public_key.data.ssh_key.id }}"

          project: project01

          tags: "{{tag}}"

        register: my_droplet

  # Retrieve geolocation data of a host's IP address

      - name: Get IP geolocation data

        ansible.builtin.shell: whois {{ (my_droplet.data.droplet.networks.v4 | selectattr('type', 'equalto', 'public')).0.ip_address | default('<none>', true) }} | grep Country

        register: country_info

      - set_fact:

          country_info_loop: "{{country_info}}"

      - name: Delete if not our region

        community.digitalocean.digital_ocean_droplet:

          state: absent

          oauth_token: "{{oauth_token}}"

          id: "{{ my_droplet.data.droplet.id }}"

          project: project01

          wait_timeout: 500

        when: "{{country_info_loop}} != {{region}}"

include_tasks didn't works with loop/until etc. Because loop can't find my variables. And i don't know how i can loop this all (

You're making us assume a lot because we don't know what '{{ my_droplet }}' or '{{ region }}" looks like.

If I throw a public IP address that's from near me (I'm in the United States) into 'whois', grep for 'Country' and register the result, I get the following.

      - name: Get IP geolocation data

        ansible.builtin.shell: whois '152.2.22.62' | grep Country
        register: country_info
      # Drop this useless 'set_fact' task:

      # - set_fact:
      #     country_info_loop: "{{country_info}}"

      - name: show country_info
        ansible.builtin.debug:
          msg: "{{ country_info }}"

TASK [show country_info] ***********************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": {
        "changed": true,
        "cmd": "whois '152.2.22.62' | grep Country",
        "delta": "0:00:00.209917",
        "end": "2023-01-30 06:53:46.436137",
        "failed": false,
        "msg": "",
        "rc": 0,
        "start": "2023-01-30 06:53:46.226220",
        "stderr": "",
        "stderr_lines": [],
        "stdout": "Country:        US",
        "stdout_lines": [
            "Country:        US"
        ]
    }

}

Down below, you compare when: "{{country_info_loop}} != {{region}}". As I said, we have no idea what region look like, but it's extremely unlikely to look like the 'msg' above. At the very least, you'll need to examine specific fields in your registered variable, something like "country_info['stdout_lines']|first". But that's unlikely to be sufficient unless your '{{region}}' also came from 'whois'.

include_tasks can be made to work, but first you need to understand your own data.
