I have a requirement to create directories only if the specified user(s)
exist on the remote host... given my role defintion below, what is the
proper syntax to use with "when" (or other method) to only create the
directory only if that user exists on the host and skip the task if not
present?
../vars/main.yml:
> ---
> my_user_list:
> - user1
> - user2
>
../tasks/main.yml:
> - name: Check for existence of users
> getent: database=passwd key={{item}} fail_key=False
> with_items: my_user_list
> register: passinfo
> - name: Ensure user directory exists (user1)
> file:
> path=/opt/user1
> state=directory
> owner=user1
> group=user1
> mode=0755
> when: ??? filter to only run if user1 exists ???
> ignore_errors: yes
> - name: Ensure user directory exists (user2)
> file:
> path=/opt/user2
> state=directory
> owner=user2
> group=user2
> mode=0755
> when: ??? filter to only run if user2 exists ???
> ignore_errors: yes
>
here is the "output" of the passinfo variable:
"passinfo": {
"changed": false,
"msg": "All items completed",

{
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"ansible_facts": {
"getent_passwd": {
"user2": [
"x",
"1002",
"1002",
"",
"/home/user2",
"/bin/bash"
]
}
},
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"_ansible_check_mode": false,
"_ansible_debug": false,
"_ansible_diff": false,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"_ansible_verbosity": 0,
"database": "passwd",
"fail_key": false,
"key": "user2",
"split": null
},
"module_name": "getent"
},
"item": "user2"
},
{
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"ansible_facts": {
"getent_passwd": {
"user1": null
}
},
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {

"fail_key": false,
"key": "user1",
"split": null
},
"module_name": "getent"
},
"item": "user1",
"msg": "One or more supplied key could not be found in the
database."
}
]
}
}
