Using bare variables in Ansible 2.8
- 02 June 2019
Ansible 2.8 was released in May 2019 and later in May came to Fedora 30 in package form. So the first tests could be done to see what needed to be done to switch from 2.7 to 2.8 and don’t generate a lot of stopped GitLab CI jobs due to new warnings and errors. Let’s start with one warning that needs to be resolved before the 2.12 release and also is given on many third-party roles.
The example code above is simple enough to get the warning about CONDITIONAL_BARE_VARS. We could opt for disabling the warning in ansible.cfg and move forward, but as this is the technical debt we don’t want to get more and resolve the current debt as quickly as possible.
