Ansible でblock に付けたwhen は内包される各task に展開される

Posted at

概要

Ansible でblock とwhen を組み合わせて使っていた際に個人的に直感に反した挙動をしたので共有

動作確認バージョン

ansible-core 2.13.1

当初想定していた動作

以下のようなPlaybook があったとします

---
- name: Test block when condition
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Block statement
      when: block_condition is not defined
      block:
        - name: Set fact block_condition
          ansible.builtin.set_fact:
            block_condition: hoge

        - name: Debug block_condition
          ansible.builtin.debug:
            var: block_condition

リファレンスを読んでいなかった私はブロック入る際の条件をwhen で指定できると思っていました

なので、Block statement タスク開始時点でblock_condition が定義されていなければ、
block 内の全てのタスクが実行されるだろうと思っていた訳です

実際の動作

ところが、実際はblock に付けたディレクティブ(when) は内包される各task に展開されるようです

こんなイメージ

---
- name: Test block when condition
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: Set fact block_condition
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        block_condition: hoge
      when: block_condition is not defined

    - name: Debug block_condition
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: block_condition
      when: block_condition is not defined

実際に1つ目のPlaybook を動かすと2番目のタスクはスキップされることが分かります

PLAY [Test block when condition] ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Set fact block_condition] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]

TASK [Debug block_condition] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost]

PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=1    rescued=0    ignored=0  

よく見るとリファレンスに書いてありました😇

For example, a when statement is applied to the tasks within a block, not to the block itself.

loop を除いた全てのディレクティブで同じことが言えるそうですね

All tasks in a block inherit directives applied at the block level. Most of what you can apply to a single task (with the exception of loops) can be applied at the block level, so blocks make it much easier to set data or directives common to the tasks. The directive does not affect the block itself, it is only inherited by the tasks enclosed by a block

気をつけること

今回の例のように、block で指定したwhen の条件が、そのblock 内で変化する場合、知らないとハマります

そうでない場合、知らなくても普通に使えちゃいますね・・・
