This module includes an argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met. options: commands: description: - The commands to send to the remote network device over the configured provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the I(wait_for) argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of I(retries) has been exceeded. required: true wait_for: description: - Specifies what to evaluate from the output of the command and what conditionals to apply. This argument will cause the task to wait for a particular conditional to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true by the configured retries, the task fails. See examples. required: false default: null aliases: ['waitfor'] version_added: "2.2" match: description: - The I(match) argument is used in conjunction with the I(wait_for) argument to specify the match policy. Valid values are C(all) or C(any). If the value is set to C(all) then all conditionals in the I(wait_for) must be satisfied. If the value is set to C(any) then only one of the values must be satisfied. required: false default: all choices: ['any', 'all'] version_added: "2.2" retries: description: - Specifies the number of retries a command should be tried before it is considered failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against the I(wait_for) conditionals. required: false default: 10 interval: description: - Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the command does not pass the specified conditional, the interval indicates how to long to wait before trying the command again. required: false default: 1 """ EXAMPLES = """ - name: run show version on remote devices net_command: commands: show version - name: run show version and check to see if output contains Network vendor name net_command: commands: show version wait_for: result[0] contains Network vendor name - name: run multiple commands on remote nodes net_command: commands: - show version - show interfaces - name: run multiple commands and evaluate the output net_command: commands: - show version - show interfaces wait_for: - result[0] contains Network vendor name - result[1] contains Loopback0 - name: run commands and specify the output format net_command: commands: - command: show version output: json """ RETURN = """ stdout: description: The set of responses from the commands returned: always apart from low level errors (such as action plugin) type: list sample: ['...', '...'] stdout_lines: description: The value of stdout split into a list returned: always apart from low level errors (such as action plugin) type: list sample: [['...', '...'], ['...'], ['...']] failed_conditions: description: The list of conditionals that have failed returned: failed type: list sample: ['...', '...'] """
