Debug Script task

[Doron Shai]

Hi All,

I am new to ansible, and i have a script which i use on many hosts.

The command i execute is 

 

ansible-playbook main.yml -i hosts

here is my code in the main.yml

 

---

- hosts: group

  sudo: true

  user: root

  tasks:

  - name: Clean logs

    script: Clean.sh

    register: myEcho

  - name: Debug

    debug: msg="{{ myEcho.stdout_lines }}"

Here is the script that i execute using the Ansible task:

echo '====================== cb-backend-00 ======================'

echo '======================== CleanLogsOld ========================='

du -h /opt/test/logs/logs.old/ --max-depth=0

if ls /opt/test/logs/logs.old/* 1> /dev/null 2>&1; then

  echo "There are files under the Old Logs Folder"

  rm -rf /opt/test/logs/logs.old/*

else

  echo "====== No Files exist under the Old Logs folder"

fi

exit

Here is the output that i get:

PLAY [group] ******************************************************************** 

GATHERING FACTS *************************************************************** 

ok: [20.152.30.10]

TASK: [Clean BVT] ************************************************************* 

changed: [20.152.30.10]

TASK: [Debug] ***************************************************************** 

ok: [20.152.30.10] => {

    "msg": "[]"

}

PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************** 

20.152.30.10               : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0   

What do i miss? Why I can not see all the echo commands that I wrote?

Thanks,

Doron

I'm not a big expert on Syntax, but try changing the debug Task to this:

- name: Debug

  debug: var=myEcho.stdout

I have a similar thing in one of my playbooks and it works. I hope this helps.

"msg": "[]" indicates that stdout is empty, use

debug: var=myEcho

You should get the output of stderr and rc, which might have a clue to
what is wrong.
You can also run with -vvvv to get more info on the execution.
