which tags are being used in runtime?

[Mauricio Castro]

Hello all, is there a way to know during playbook execution which tags it was called with in command line with -t ?

I mean given ansible-playbook -t x,y,z how do I know inside the playbook I am only executing tasks with those tags?

Thanks

[Jonathan Lozada De La Matta]

either there's a tag: name in the playbook or in the tasks.

- debug: var=ansible_run_tags

  tags: ['always']

is not giving me anything.

are you sure Brian?

thanks for the help.

it reflects tags used at runtime, not those defined on the task.

hummm, that's it:

I tried:

- debug: var=ansible_run_tags

tags: ['delete']

and I run:

ansible-playbook -t delete pb.yml

and I get:

TASK [debug] *************************************************************************************************************

ok: [localhost] => {

    "ansible_run_tags": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!"

}

wrong?

thanks.

Indentation of tags if off, you should add two spaces.

Identation was a e-mail body problem.

I think it should be my version. I will try to update it.

Thanks a lot.

Kai, thanks, it was my version 2.4.2, updated to 2.6.3.

Working now.

Thanks a lot to all.
