Re: [ansible-project] Strange behaviour, possible bug

[Brian Coca]

cause you asked it to?

I think you want:

```

when: bar is defined

```

Sorry, I made mistake. Bad example. I meant this one:

$ cat inv
local ansible_connection=local
$ cat extra.yml
---
- set_fact: bar=hello
- debug: msg="baz {{ bar }}"
$ cat playbook.yml
---
- hosts: local
  tasks:
  - include: extra.yml
    when: bar is not defined
$ ansible-playbook -i inv playbook.yml

PLAY [local] ******************************************************************

GATHERING FACTS ***************************************************************
ok: [local]

TASK: [set_fact bar=hello] ****************************************************
ok: [local]

TASK: [debug msg="baz {{ bar }}"] *********************************************
skipping: [local]

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************
local                      : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0  

$

still works as expected.

set fact runs when bar is not defined, debug is skipped on the same condition as it isn't true once set fact sets bar.

But debug doesn't have when statement. If set_fact was runned, debug should too.

[Michael Peters]

Adding a when condition to an include doesn't conditionally include
the file, it instead adds that condition to every task in that file.
So in this case yes, the debug does have the when statement.

That's a bummer. Thank You a lot.

No, still skipping. But I got the answer. Check the forum https://groups.google.com/forum/?#!topic/ansible-project/BBbdxspBzHI

Hello,

Does it work as expected if you replace "with: bar is not defined" with "with: bar is undefined" ?

Obviously, I meant 'when: ...' and  not 'with: ...'
