How to register with local_action?

[Pierre Thibault]

I am trying to create a new variable from a local action:

- name: Get ansible host directory
  local_action: command /usr/bin/dirname $ENV(ANSIBLE_HOSTS)
  register: host_vars_dir
  sudo: False

But when I try to use the variable "host_vars_dir" in the none local action of my playbook, it seems that the variable does not exists.

Do you know how can I access its value?

Might want to take a look at the debug module:

http://www.ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#debug

and running ansible-playbook with verbose (e.g. -vvv):

e.g. 

- name: Get ansible host directory
  local_action: command /usr/bin/dirname $ENV(ANSIBLE_HOSTS)
  register: host_vars_dir
  sudo: False

- name: See what we got

 debug: msg="heres what we gots {{ host_vars_dir.stdout }}

Note: Untested :)

You can just run with -v too
