I have a simple shell task which is feed with_items. I want to have the 'changed' status only when the run actually did something. So for that I have to parse the output and look for a «Done».

The issue is using a register at the same time that the with_items generates a list of results. And I don't find a way to access the stdout of the current loop iteration.

---

- name: Test to set changed status only on when output match with 'Done'

  hosts: my-host-01

  gather_facts: no



  tasks:

    - name: Task doing stuff

      shell: |

        echo {{ item }}

      register: do_stuff

      with_items:

        - "Doing... Done!"

        - "Nothing to do"

      #changed_when: do_stuff.results[{{ item.id }}].stdout.find('Done')



    - name: Print 'do_stuff' var to debug

      debug:

        var: do_stuff

    - name: Try to access to the desired stdout

      debug:

        var: do_stuff.results[0].stdout

The expected result that I want would be:

TASK [Task doing stuff]

*************************************************************************

changed: [cnode02] => (item=Doing... Done!)

Ok: [cnode02] => (item=Nothing to do)
