Partial playbook execution not working: dhcp about ansible-opnsense

[zerwes]

@rvalle I just took the chance and implemented a dhcp handler for #12 on the branch issue-12-dhcp-handler
would you mind testing this?

[zerwes]

#58 works for me ...
just using ansible-playbook -t dhcp,copy ... will bypass the big reload and leave you with the right dhcp config in /var/dhcpd//etc/dhcpd.conf and a reloaded service ...
can you approve this?

[rvalle]

it may also help to use a block for the last set of tasks: clean, copy, upload, reload.... all should be processed always when the config has changed, etc.

Hello @rvalle
We use selective runs using tags to.
Our fetch method is a little bit different (see https://github.com/Rosa-Luxemburgstiftung-Berlin/ansible-opnsense-playbook)

I'll have a look at the fetch issue and be back soon ...

The block hint has to be considered in #12

I see @zerwes

in your setup you do an tagged import role, while in the vanilla role it is an include_tasks. Perhaps they behave differently. I think they have to be applied always instead of fetch.

Yes, finer grain handlers would be a great tool too.

I think these features will make a difference during configuration work on the firewalls, making it more agile.

[zerwes]

well, by enforcing the tag inheritance for the always tag on the included task, the fetch task is now implicit invoked, except it is explicitly excluded by adding fetch or alwaysto --skip-tags
hope this helps

[rvalle]

thanks!!!
