This shows a few special ways to run playbooks, very useful for testing and debugging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start-at-task
|
|
`````````````
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.2
|
|
|
|
If you want to start executing your playbook at a particular task, you can do so
|
|
with the ``--start-at`` option::
|
|
|
|
ansible-playbook playbook.yml --start-at="install packages"
|
|
|
|
The above will start executing your playbook at a task named "install packages".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Step
|
|
````
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
Playbooks can also be executed interactively with ``--step``::
|
|
|
|
ansible-playbook playbook.yml --step
|
|
|
|
This will cause ansible to stop on each task, and ask if it should execute that task.
|
|
Say you had a task called "configure ssh", the playbook run will stop and ask::
|
|
|
|
Perform task: configure ssh (y/n/c):
|
|
|
|
Answering "y" will execute the task, answering "n" will skip the task, and answering "c"
|
|
will continue executing all the remaining tasks without asking.
