conditional statement and if it is true , it should accept yes and continue for next step if not then it should terminate

[Manish Kumar]

Hi All,

I am trying to implement an conditional statement and if it is true , it should accept yes and continue for next step if not then it should terminate .  Below playbook is not reading vaue like what we do in shell script with Echo "..."  read value etc.

Any help ?

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: False
  
  tasks:
   - name: Fetch Java version
     shell: java -version 2>&1 | grep version | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/"//g'     
     register: java_result

 

   - debug:
       msg: "{{ java_result.stdout }}"
   - name: condition when passed
     debug: msg="passed"
     when: java_result.stdout != "1.8.0_131"
  vars_prompt:
   - name: condition 
     prompt: " Do you want to continue?"
     confirm: yes
     debug: msg= "stop"
     when: java_result.stdout == "1.8.0_131"

Thanks,

Manish

I would suggest to use the assert module to make sure a condition is met and bails out if the condition is false.
