conditional query

[jb79...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am trying to enforce a conditional match to check if a VLAN is configured on a switch before applying changes

I can see that the variable is being recorded, but the match against it always results in the skipping of the task 'interface e01' even though the vlan number is present.

PLAY [arista] ******************************************************************

TASK [check VLAN] **************************************************************

ok: [arista]

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

ok: [arista] => {

    "msg": "test: [u'VLAN  Name                             Status    Ports\\n----- -------------------------------- --------- -------------------------------\\n1     default                          active    Et2, Et3\\n100   VLAN0100                         active    Et1\\n200   VLAN0200                         active   \\n']"

}

TASK [interface e01] ***********************************************************

skipping: [arista]

playbook file:

---

- hosts: arista

  gather_facts: no

  connection: local

  strategy: free

  tasks:

    - name: check VLAN

      ignore_errors: yes

          - switchport access vlan 200

          - no shutdown

You need to use "test.stdout" as you did in the debug task.

The task is still being skipped even though the VLAN 200 is present in the variable test.

Can I confirm the syntax is correct? I have written it like:

        lines: 

          - switchport access vlan 200

          - description nan

          - no shutdown

        parents: 

          - interface e01

      when: "'200' in test.stdout"

thanks

In the debug task use var: instead of msg: when looking at variables,
it's then easier to see their structure.
- debug:
var: test.stdout

After looking more closely at the output is seams that test.stdout is a
list.
So get the first entry you would need to use test.stdout.0
