Avoiding jinja templating delimiter in when statements

  • 772

I'm currently porting my Ansible playbooks from version 2.1 to 2.7. Ansible now prints a warning if I use jinja templating delmiters such as {{ .. }} in a when clause.

[WARNING]: when statements should not include jinja2 templating delimiters such as {{ }} or {% %}

I had no problems to change it on simple conditionals statements, but I wonder how to fix this one:

- shell: pg_lsclusters -h | awk '{print $2 " " $6}'
  register: postgresql_lsclusters
  changed_when: false
  check_mode: no

- fail: 
    msg="test"
  when: postgresql_lsclusters.stdout.find("{{ postgresql_cluster }} {{ postgresql_data_dir }}/{{ postgresql_version }}/{{ postgresql_cluster }}") == -1

I tried to replace the when statement with the following, without success:

when: postgresql_lsclusters.stdout.find(postgresql_cluster ~ ' ' ~ postgresql_data_dir ~ '/' ~ postgresql_version ~ '/' ~ postgresql_cluster") == -1`
ansible

  1. Something like this?

    - name: PG cluster find
  vars:
    big_pg_var: "{{ postgresql_cluster }} {{ postgresql_data_dir }}/{{ postgresql_version }}/{{ postgresql_cluster }}"
  fail:
    msg="test"
  when: postgresql_lsclusters.stdout.find(big_pg_var) == -1
