Take a look at this page,

Doesn't seem to be working when I implement it in my code:

   - name: If the IP address is destined for the .1 subnet...

     when: set_machinename | ipaddr('192.168.1.0/24')

It still skips over this range even if I specify set_machinename to '192.168.1.4'.

In your earlier mail you wrote /24 now you are using /32?

192.168.1.4 is not part of 192.168.1.0/32, only 192.168.1.0 is that.

Yea, no I corrected that mistake. I meant to say /24, not /32. Still gets bypassed when I run the ansible script.

What I can say it's working for me.

test.yml

- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- debug: msg="Yay I'm running"

when: set_machinename | ipaddr('192.168.1.0/24')

$ ansible-playbook test.yml -e set_machinename=192.168.1.4
PLAY [localhost] *******************************************************************

TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {}

MSG:

Yay I'm running



$ ansible-playbook test.yml -e set_machinename=192.168.2.4
PLAY [localhost] *******************************************************************

TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************
skipping: [localhost]


Maybe you should run it with -vvv and see if something jumps or post the output here.

I got it. Thanks Kai. Wrong variable referenced.
