/bin/bash output in ansible playbook as a conditional statement

[Manish Kumar]

Dear All,

Is it possible to get the output from .sh file and compare with "Apache Tomcat/9.0.26" and if condition is true proceed for next step ?

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:

 

    - name: Extract archive
      shell:  sh /U01/apache-tomcat-9.0.26/bin/version.sh
      register: output
      when: output.stdout == "Apache Tomcat/9.0.26"

      debug: msg="passed"

Error Log:

[WARNING] Ansible is in a world writable directory (/U01/automation/playbooks), ignoring it as an ansible.cfg source.

 

PLAY [localhost] ***************************************************************

 

TASK [Gathering Facts] *********************************************************

ok: [localhost]

 

TASK [Extract archive] *********************************************************

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "The conditional check 'output.stdout == \"Apache Tomcat/9.0.26\"' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (output.stdout == \"Apache Tomcat/9.0.26\"): 'output' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/U01/automation/playbooks/Esm_java.yml': line 5, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n    - name: Extract archive\n      ^ here\n"}

Debugger invoked

(debug)

Thanks,

Manish

The condition in "when" is evaluated before running the task. You need an additional task where you can apply the
condition based on the values in output.stdout.
