Using Ansible json_query to Check Output of Json Kubectl command-CodePudding

I am trying to use Ansible to put a pause in my playbook, since I am installing an operator from the Operator Hub and don't want to continue, until I know the CRDs I require in the following steps are installed. I have the following task but can't get it working yet.

- name: Wait for CRDs to be available
  command: kubectl get sub my-operator -n openshift-operators -o json
  register: cmd
  retries: 10
  delay: 5
  until: cmd.stdout | json_query('status.conditions[0].status') == true

CodePudding user response：

There is a small detail that is tripping up the condition. In the JSON output, the status is a string "True" and not a boolean which we are comparing.

Note: "status": "True"

Changing the condition to match the string True...

until: cmd.stdout | json_query('status.conditions[0].status') == "True"

Or, applying the | bool filter...

until: stdout | json_query('status.conditions[0].status') | bool

The complete task:

- name: Wait for CRDs to be available
  command: kubectl get sub my-operator -n openshift-operators -o json
  register: cmd
  retries: 10
  delay: 5
  until: cmd.stdout | json_query('status.conditions[0].status') | bool
