Say you have a playbook with multiple roles, for example:
roles:
- A
- B
- C
in role A's or B's tasks/main.yml, there are a few tasks which are
asynchronous fire and forget, do not poll tasks, for example:
- name: do the thing (asynchronously)
shell: Zhu Li do the thing
args:
creates: /etc/thething
async: 300
poll: 0
register: thething_created
these tasks need to be checked on at the end of the playbook run before the
handlers execute like so:
- name: verify that the thing was done
async_status: jid={{ thething_created.ansible_job_id }}
register: thething_result
until: thething_result.finished
retries: 100
currently I have these async_status tasks at the end of C's tasks/main.yml.
If role C is removed or conditionally executed, it will cause the entire
playbook to fail.
Where is the best location to put these kind of tasks? I could always
create another role called D that contains just these tasks but I'm
interested to learn how the rest of you are handling this.
