Ansible Local script with Arguments yes/no having some issue

[Prabahar S]

Hi All,

Can someone give an idea about to run the script in local? My script having yes/no question. If I give "Yes" it'll run the script, "NO" it will terminate the script. So I need a playbook to execute this scenario. It's quite an urgency.

- hosts: test

  tasks:

        - name: Running Script

          run_once: true

          local_action: script /data/scripts/script.sh

          register: history

          

I have tried above playbook. it's not working and the throwing the error

 ansible-playbook testing.yml

PLAY [test] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

ok: [unixpgtest1]

TASK [Running Script] *************************************************************************************************************************************************

        to retry, use: --limit @/etc/ansible/playbook/testing.retry

Your script is being run, but it is exciting with a non-zero return code which causes the playbook to exit with a failure. This is the expected behavior, see this part of the output:

"msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, 

If you don't want the playbook to fail when the script exits with a non-zero return, you need to set the failed_when: condition to your liking. Or, if you simply want to ignore all failures (from the perspective of Ansible), you can set ignore_errrors: True.

See these docs:

• failed_when: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_error_handling.html#controlling-what-defines-failure
• ignore_errors: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_error_handling.html#ignoring-failed-commands

Good luck
