testing when handlers kick in.

notes.md

• So to get handlers to work properly you must put the handlers in a different "host" definition.

- hosts: all
  roles:
     - requires_switchd_restart

- hosts: all
  roles:
     - system_basics
     - l2_tasks
     - l3_tasks

site.yml

## this works. switchd is started before interfaces are configured. ansible runs handlers 
## if tasks are under a different "host" definition
---
  - hosts: all
    tasks:
      - name: get facts
        cumulus_facts:

      - name: create groups based on platform-detect str. Can use groups_vars/productname for variables
        group_by: key={{ productname }}

      - name: debug speed_40g value for the platform
        debug: msg="{{ cumulus_ports.speed_40g|default([]) }}"

      - name: debug speed 4x10g value for the platform
        debug: msg="{{ cumulus_ports.speed_4_by_10g|default([]) }}"

      - name: >
          actual cl_ports call that will be in playbook.
          Notice it covers all 4 port types and puts defaults where needed
          if variable is blank module will use speed setting defined in existing ports.conf
          it covers switches that don't have ports.conf too as well. it will do nothing.
        cl_ports:
            speed_40g: "{{ cumulus_ports.speed_40g|default([]) }}"
            speed_10g: "{{ cumulus_ports.speed_10g|default([]) }}"
            speed_4_by_10g: "{{ cumulus_ports.speed_4_by_10g|default([]) }}"
            speed_40g_div_4: "{{ cumulus_ports.speed_40g_div_4|default([]) }}"
        notify: restart switchd

      - name: install license
        cl_license: src='http://192.168.0.1/{{ansible_hostname}}.lic'
        notify: restart switchd

    handlers:
      - name: restart switchd
        service: name=switchd state=restarted
 # ansible says that handlers apply on a certain block of commands
 # you can see it works fine in a [host] block
 # does it also work in role setting?
