[FIXED] How can I hide skipped tasks output in Ansible

Issue

I have Ansible role, for example

---
- name: Deploy app1
  include: deploy-app1.yml
  when: 'deploy_project == "{{app1}}"'

- name: Deploy app2
  include: deploy-app2.yml
  when: 'deploy_project == "{{app2}}"'

But I deploy only one app in one role call. When I deploy several apps, I call role several times. But every time there is a lot of skipped tasks output (from tasks which do not pass condition), which I do not want to see. How can I avoid it?

Solution

Ansible allows you to control its output by using custom callbacks.

In this case you can simply use the skippy callback which will not output anything on a skipped task.

That said, skippy is now deprecated and will be removed in ansible v2.11.
