Ansible handler questions.

Ansible Handler Questions.md

Had some questions at work about what handlers could do. So we built this playbook to test.

• handlers can be called "dynamicly" ie called with variable name.
• handlers can iterate over a list.

playbook.yml

---
- name: hahah
  hosts: all
  connection: local
  become: true
  become_method: sudo

  vars:
   foo:
     - foo
     - bar
     - baz

  handlers:
    - name: run foo
      debug: msg="running foo"

    - name: run bar
      debug: msg="running bar"

    - name: run baz
      debug: msg="running baz with {{ item }}"
      with_items: "{{ foo }}"

  tasks:

    - command: touch /tmp/{{ item }} warn=false
      notify:
        - run {{ item }}
      with_items: "{{ foo }}"
