How can I set in Ansible block vars (visible only for tasks in block) ?
I tried:
---
- hosts: test
tasks:
- block:
- name: task 1
shell: "echo {{item}}"
with_items:
- one
- two
but it seems that it's a wrong way.
If you want to define a variable for a block:
- block: - debug: var: var_for_block vars: var_for_block: "value for var_for_block"
If you want to "loop over blocks" as your code suggests - you can't. It's not implemented in Ansible. Follow this thread .
For now consider saving the tasks to a separate file and use include
instead.
@Shasha99 you might be able to include a file with a block in it so you can still benefit from the try/catch
includeFile.yml :
- block
- name: Finding the package.
shell: rpm -qa | grep "{{pkgName}}"
register: package
- name: Uninstalling the package.
shell: rpm -e "{{package}}"
always:
- debug: msg="this always executes"
main.yml:
---
- hosts: all
vars:
- packageList : ["pkg1","pkg2","pkg3","pkg4"]
tasks:
- include: includeFile.yml pkgName="{{item}}"
with_items: packageList
