Ansible when condition registered from csv - ansible

Question

I'm using csv file as ingest data for my playbooks, but im having trouble with my when condition. it's either both task will skipped or both task will be ok, my objective is if ansible see the string in when condition it will skipped for the specific instance.
here is my playbook
- name: "Read ingest file from CSV return a list"
community.general.read_csv:
path: sample.csv
register: ingest
- name: debug ingest
debug:
msg: "{{ item.AWS_ACCOUNT }}"
with_items:
- "{{ ingest.list }}"
register: account
- name: debug account
debug:
msg: "{{ account.results | map(attribute='msg') }}"
register: accountlist
- name:
become: yes
become_user: awx
delegate_to: localhost
environment: "{{ proxy_env }}"
block:
- name: "Assume role"
community.aws.sts_assume_role:
role_arn: "{{ item.ROLE_ARN }}"
role_session_name: "pm"
with_items:
- "{{ ingest.list }}"
register: assumed_role
when: "'aws-account-rnd' not in account.results | map(attribute='msg')"
here is the content of sample.csv
HOSTNAME
ENVIRONMENT
AWS_ACCOUNT
ROLE_ARN
test1
dev
aws-account-rnd
arn:aws:iam::XXXX1
test2
uat
aws-account-uat
arn:aws:iam::XXXX2
my objective is to skipped all items in the csv file with aws-acount-rnd

Answer 1

Your condition does not mention item so it will have the same result for all loop items.
Nothing you've shown requires the weird abuse of debug + register that you're doing, and it is in fact getting in your way.
- name: Read CSV file
community.general.read_csv:
path: sample.csv
register: ingest
- name: Assume role
community.aws.sts_assume_role:
role_arn: "{{ item.ROLE_ARN }}"
role_session_name: pm
delegate_to: localhost
become: true
become_user: awx
environment: "{{ proxy_env }}"
loop: "{{ ingest.list }}"
when: item.AWS_ACCOUNT != 'aws-account-rnd'
register: assumed_role
If you'll always only care about one match you can also do this without a loop or condition at all:
- name: Assume role
community.aws.sts_assume_role:
role_arn: "{{ ingest.list | rejectattr('AWS_ACCOUNT', '==', 'aws-account-rnd') | map(attribute='ROLE_ARN') | first }}"
role_session_name: pm
delegate_to: localhost
become: true
become_user: awx
environment: "{{ proxy_env }}"
register: assumed_role

my objective is to skipped all items in the csv file with aws-acount-rnd
The multiple debug you have with register, seems to be a long-winded approach IMHO.
A simple task to debug the Role ARN, only if the account does not match aws-acount-rnd.
- name: show ROLE_ARN when account not equals aws-account-rnd
debug:
var: item['ROLE_ARN']
loop: "{{ ingest.list }}"
when: item['AWS_ACCOUNT'] != 'aws-account-rnd'
This results in:
TASK [show ROLE_ARN when account not equals aws-account-rnd] **********************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost] => (item={'HOSTNAME': 'test1', 'ENVIRONMENT': 'dev', 'AWS_ACCOUNT': 'aws-account-rnd', 'ROLE_ARN': 'arn:aws:iam:XXXX1'})
ok: [localhost] => (item={'HOSTNAME': 'test2', 'ENVIRONMENT': 'uat', 'AWS_ACCOUNT': 'aws-account-uat', 'ROLE_ARN': 'arn:aws:iam:XXXX2'}) => {
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"item": {
"AWS_ACCOUNT": "aws-account-uat",
"ENVIRONMENT": "uat",
"HOSTNAME": "test2",
"ROLE_ARN": "arn:aws:iam:XXXX2"
},
"item['ROLE_ARN']": "arn:aws:iam:XXXX2"
}
The same logic can be used to pass the item.ROLE_ARN to community.aws.sts_assume_role task.
