.. versionadded:: 1.3
When a task make some changes or sometimes is simply executed, it
is reported as changed. You may want to override this. To do so,
write a task with the `changed_when` clause, which actually is a
Python expression. When this expression evaluates to true the task
is considered changed, when it evaluates to false the tasks is
considered changed. See below about the `when` clause for details
on the expressions you can use. You may also find the `register`
keyword useful with `changed_when`, see below.
When a shell/command or other module runs it will typically report
"changed" status based on whether it thinks it affected machine state.
Sometimes you will know, based on the return code
or output that it did not make any changes, and wish to override
the "changed" result such that it does not appear in report output or
does not cause handlers to fire::
Example::
tasks:
- action: command some command with output
register: result
changed_when: "'reticulating splines' in result.stdout"
- action: command another command
register: another_result
changed_when: "another_result.rc != 2"
- action: command yet another command
changed_when: false # never changed !
- shell: /usr/bin/billybass --mode="take me to the river"
register: bass_result
changed_when: "bass_result.rc != 2"
# this will never report 'changed' status
- shell: wall 'beep'
