You can set environment variables per task: tasks: – shell: echo JAVA_HOME is $JAVA_HOME environment: JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jre1.8.0_51 register: shellout – debug: var=shellout Output: TASK: [shell echo JAVA_HOME is $JAVA_HOME] ********************************** changed: [localhost] TASK: [debug var=shellout] **************************************************** ok: [localhost] => { “var”: { “shellout”: { “changed”: true, “cmd”: “echo JAVA_HOME … Read more
Try checking to see it if equals a blank string or not? – hosts: myhosts tasks: – name: echo hello command: echo hello register: result – command: somecommand {{ result.stdout }} when: result.stdout != “” – command: someothercommand when: result.stdout == “”
Try below code: {% set port=”1234″ %} {% set server_ip = [] %} {% for ip in host_ip %} {{ server_ip.append( ip+”:”+port ) }} {% endfor %} {{ server_ip|join(‘,’) }} You ll get: 192.168.56.14:1234,192.168.56.13:1234,192.168.56.10:1234
