In Ansible 0.8, a few shortcuts are available for testing whether a variable is defined or not::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tasks:
|
||||||
|
- action: command echo hi
|
||||||
|
only_if: is_set($some_variable)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is a matching 'is_unset' that works the same way. Do not quote the variables inside the function.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While only_if is a pretty good option for advanced users, it exposes more guts of the engine than we'd like, and
|
||||||
|
we can do better. In 0.9, we will be adding 'when', which will be like a syntactic sugar for only_if and hide
|
||||||
|
this level of complexity -- it will numerous built in operators.

Various 'lookup plugins' allow additional ways to iterate over data. Ansible will have more of these
|
||||||
|
over time. In 0.8, the only lookup plugin that comes stock is 'with_fileglob', but you can also write
|
||||||
|
your own.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
'with_fileglob' matches all files in a single directory, non-recursively, that match a pattern. It can
|
||||||
|
be used like this::
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|

||||||

tasks:

|
|
||||||
|
# copy each file over that matches the given pattern
