Ansible的错误处理

环境

• 管理节点：Ubuntu 22.04
• 控制节点：CentOS 8
• Ansible：2.15.6

ignore_errors

使用 ignore_errors: true 来让Ansible忽略错误（运行结果是 failed ）：

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/abc.txtignore_errors: true- name: task2debug:msg: "hello"

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.55]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "cat /tmp/abc.txt", "delta": "0:00:00.002192", "end": "2023-11-25 16:53:58.063148", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-11-25 16:53:58.060956", "stderr": "cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}
...ignoringTASK [task2] ***************************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.1.55] => {"msg": "hello"
}PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.55               : ok=3    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=1  

ignore_unreachable

如果目标节点无法访问（比如编辑 /etc/ansible/hosts ）：

---
- hosts: allgather_facts: false # 避免在这里出错tasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/abc.txtignore_errors: true- name: task2debug:msg: "hello"

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.56]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.56 port 22: No route to host", "unreachable": true}PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.56               : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0   

可见，本例中 ignore_errors: true 并不起作用，这是因为运行结果是 unreachable ，不是 failed 。 ignore_errors: true 只针对 failed 有效。

要想忽略 unreachable 错误，则需要 ignore_unreachable: true ：

---
- hosts: allgather_facts: falsetasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/abc.txtignore_unreachable: true- name: task2debug:msg: "hello"

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.56]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.56 port 22: No route to host", "unreachable": true}
...ignoringTASK [task2] ***************************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.1.56] => {"msg": "hello"
}PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.56               : ok=2    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=1 

可见， ignore_unreachable: true 可忽略 unreachable 错误。

注意： debug 运行在控制节点，不需要访问目标节点。

---
- hosts: allgather_facts: falsetasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/abc.txtignore_unreachable: true- name: task2shell: cat /tmp/def.txt

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.56]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.56 port 22: No route to host", "unreachable": true}
...ignoringTASK [task2] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.56]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.56 port 22: No route to host", "unreachable": true}PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.56               : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=1

可见， ignore_unreachable: true 只针对当前范围有效。

所以，应把 ignore_unreachable: true 提高一层：

---
- hosts: allgather_facts: falseignore_unreachable: truetasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/abc.txt- name: task2shell: cat /tmp/def.txt

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************

...ignoringPLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************

force_handlers

我们知道，handler是在所有task都运行结束后才运行的。假设task1触发了handler1，但接下来task2出错了，则handler无法运行。

---
- hosts: all#force_handlers: Truetasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/a.txtnotify: handler1- name: task2shell: cat /tmp/abc.txthandlers:- name: handler1debug:msg: "OK"

运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
changed: [192.168.1.55]TASK [task2] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.55]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "cat /tmp/abc.txt", "delta": "0:00:00.003114", "end": "2023-11-25 17:29:23.501341", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-11-25 17:29:23.498227", "stderr": "cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

可见，handler并未运行。

通过指定 force_handlers: True ，可以强制handler运行。

添加 force_handlers: True （见注释部分），则运行结果如下：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
changed: [192.168.1.55]TASK [task2] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.55]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "cat /tmp/abc.txt", "delta": "0:00:00.002423", "end": "2023-11-25 17:30:09.107674", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-11-25 17:30:09.105251", "stderr": "cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["cat: /tmp/abc.txt: No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}RUNNING HANDLER [handler1] *************************************************************************
ok: [192.168.1.55] => {"msg": "OK"
}

注：也可以通过 meta: flush_handlers 使handler立即运行。

failed_when

可以自定义失败。具体方法为：先用register变量获取运行结果，然后再根据结果来做判断，比如：

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/a.txtregister: resultfailed_when: "'OK' not in result.stdout"

• 若目标机器的 /tmp/a.txt 文件里包含 OK 字样，则视为运行成功：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
changed: [192.168.1.55]PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.55               : ok=2    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0   

• 若目标机器的 /tmp/a.txt 文件里不包含 OK 字样，则视为运行失败：

TASK [task1] ***************************************************************************************
fatal: [192.168.1.55]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "cat /tmp/a.txt", "delta": "0:00:00.004289", "end": "2023-11-25 17:42:22.907553", "failed_when_result": true, "msg": "", "rc": 0, "start": "2023-11-25 17:42:22.903264", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "aaaaa\nb\nccccc", "stdout_lines": ["aaaaa", "b", "ccccc"]}PLAY RECAP *****************************************************************************************
192.168.1.55               : ok=1    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=1    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0  

如果有多个判断条件，且它们之间是“与”的关系：

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/a.txtregister: resultfailed_when:- "'OK' not in result.stdout"- "'SUCCESS' not in result.stdout"

如果目标机器的 /tmp/a.txt 文件里不包含 OK 字样，且不包含 SUCCESS 字样，则视为运行失败。

当然，也可以用 failed_when: xxxxx and xxxxx 。

同理，若多个条件之间是“或”的关系，则是： failed_when: xxxxx or xxxxx

注：如果语句太长，可以用 > 换行（这是yaml的语法）：

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/a.txtregister: resultfailed_when: >'OK' not in result.stdout or'SUCCESS' not in result.stdout

changed_when

与 failed_when 类似，可通过 changed_when 来自定义结果发生变化的条件。比如，我们知道handler只有当运行结果发生变化时，才会被触发。此时自定义结果发生变化的条件就尤为有用。

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: cat /tmp/a.txtregister: resultchanged_when: >'OK' in result.stdout or'SUCCESS' in result.stdoutnotify: handler1handlers:- name: handler1debug:msg: "The result is OK"

本例中，当目标机器的 /tmp/a.txt 文件里包含 OK 或 SUCCESS 字样时，就会触发handler1。

强制shell/command运行成功

假设目标机器上 /tmp/b.sh 内容如下：

#!/bin/bashecho "bad"exit 1

该脚本运行结果的返回值不是0，则Ansible会视为失败。如果想视为成功，一个办法是 ignore_errors: true ，还有一个办法是让shell返回0，比如：

---
- hosts: alltasks:- name: task1shell: /tmp/b.sh || /bin/true

注： /tmp/b.sh || /bin/true 是一个整体，其中 /bin/true 是系统自带的脚本，返回0。

➜  ~ /tmp/b.sh || /bin/true
bad➜  ~ echo $?
0
