How to ignore all task errors in a playbook?

[Howard Guo]

Hello fellow Ansible users.

I am going to write a long playbook where every single task can fail, yet the playbook must proceed. If I write down "ignore_errors" in each task, the playbook will get too long and too verbose.

Is there a way to tell ansible to "on error resume next"?

Kind regards,

Howard

Can you put the whole thing in a block? A short example:

- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- block:

- fail: msg="1"
- fail: msg="2"
- fail: msg="3"

ignore_errors: True

That seems to do the right thing.
