# this is a demo of conditional executions using 'when' statements, which can skip
# certain tasks on machines/platforms/etc where they do not apply.
- hosts: all
user: root
vars:
favcolor: "red"
dog: "fido"
cat: "whiskers"
ssn: 8675309
# These are the types of when statemnets available
# when_set: $variable_name
# when_unset: $variable_name
# when_str: $x == "test"
# when_int: $y > 2
# when_float: $z => 2.3
#
# when using 'when', take care to make sure any variables given are surrounded by spaces
# as an example, $z>3 will not do what you want, use "$z > 3"
#
# note, if you are doing comparisons to variables that are stored as hashes or lists,
# you will need to use the older 'only_if', which is more free form.
# see conditionals_part_3.yml
