Looping tasks in Ansible
I have the following tasks in Ansible:
- name: Getting Job Info
uri:
url: "https://{{ hostname }}/job/JobService"
method: POST
user: "{{ username }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
body: "{{ lookup( 'template' , 'jobInfo.xml.j2' ) }}"
status_code: 200
validate_certs: false
headers:
soapaction: "getJobInfoVO"
return_content: true
register: job_status_soap
- name: Converting Job Info response to JSON
set_fact:
job_status_json: "{{ job_status_soap.content | xml2json }}"
- name: Setting Job Status
set_fact:
job_status: "{{ job_status_json['soapenv:Envelope']['soapenv:Body']['multiRef'][0]['status']['#text'] }}"
- debug: msg="{{ job_status }}"
As you can see, it makes a web service call, converts the SOAP response to JSON and then extracts the relevant value (an integer) and sets it as a fact. I need to repeat this block of code until the aforementioned integer value is equal to certain integer.
Any ideas on how I might approach this task?

Can you generate a list of the integers? Then you could use it as a dict, and loop through using with_items?

This would have been easy to implement using until to execute ansible do-until loop if the response was in JSON format.
But here's a working example with xml response.
Pre-requisites: (Make sure you have the python dependencies installed on your ansible host)
1) Using custom xml_to_json filter.
2) Using json_query filter
P.S. Executing following play will not trigger retry as the until contion is already met.
If you want to test if retry is working then change the until condition or the value of tag in the request header.
---
- name: Retry url until xml content equals certain value
hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
become_user: root
become: yes
tasks:
- name: Check job status
uri:
url: "https://httpbin.org/anything"
method: GET
timeout: 10
validate_certs: no
headers:
content: "<envelope><body><request><status>2</status></request></body></envelope>"
register: get_search_job_status_response
until: get_search_job_status_response.json.headers.Content|from_xml|json_query('envelope.body.request.status')|int == 2
retries: 2
delay: 2
