with_items and when

[Sudhir Kumar]

Hi,

Basically would like to check if file is present on remote system or not. If not present, then create one, otherwise skip this step. 

 

 - name: Checking if files already present

      stat:

       path: "{{ item }}"

      register: file_path

      with_items:

        - /var/abc.key

        - /var/xyz.key

        - /var/spk.key

    - name: Creating files

      file:

       path: "{{ item }}"

       state: touch

       owner: root

       group: named

       mode: 0644

      with_items:

         - /var/abc.key

        - /var/xyz.key

        - /var/spk.key

      when: file_path.stat.exists == False

Any ideas ?

with_items:
- /var/abc.key
