Module to assist users in understanding Ansible After helping someone on IRC he was interested to have this debug module in upstream. This module simply 'prints' a message, and can be ordered to fail if needed. It helps to troubleshoot or understand inventory/facts issues and/or experiment with statements and conditions using only_if. Here is a small example playbook: ```yaml - hosts: all tasks: - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has uuid ${ansible_product_uuid}" - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname lacks a gateway" fail=yes only_if: "is_unset('$ansible_default_ipv4.gateway')" - local_action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has gateway ${ansible_default_ipv4.gateway}" only_if: "is_set('$ansible_default_ipv4.gateway')" ``` outputting: ``` [root@moria ansible]# ansible-playbook -v -l localhost:x220 test6.yml PLAY [all] ********************* GATHERING FACTS ********************* ok: [localhost] ok: [x220] TASK: [debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has uuid $ansible_product_uuid"] ********************* ok: [localhost] => {"msg": "System localhost has uuid d125a48c-364f-4e65-b225-fed42ed61fac"} ok: [x220] => {"msg": "System x220 has uuid d125a48c-364f-4e65-b225-fed42ed61fac"} TASK: [debug msg="System $inventory_hostname lacks a gateway" fail=yes] ********************* failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "msg": "System localhost lacks a gateway", "rc": 1} ok: [x220] => {"msg": "System x220 has gateway 192.168.1.1"} PLAY RECAP ********************* localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 x220 : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 ``` I had some other plans for the module, like displaying host inventory and complete inventory to help understand inventory and facts modules, but that would require an action-plugin for transfering inventory information etc... And I am not sure this is wanted/best done in a module.

module: debug
short_description: Print statements during execution
description:
- This module prints statements during execution and can be useful
for debugging variables or expressions without necessarily halting
the playbook. Useful for debugging together with the only_if directive.
In order to see the debug message, you need to run ansible in verbose
mode (using the -v option).
version_added: "0.8"
options:
msg:
description:
- The customized message that is printed. If ommited, prints a generic
message.
required: false
default: "Hello world!"
fail:
description:
- A boolean that indicates whether the debug module should fail or not.
required: false
default: "no"
examples:
- code: |
- action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname has uuid $ansible_product_uuid"
- action: debug msg="System $inventory_hostname lacks a gateway" fail=yes
