Ansible Rescue Failed PUT API Task, and Redo as POST API Task

[Datadigital123]

Hello,

I am trying to run a PUT API call via Ansible URI module for a particular API Endpoint in my application, using a dictionary that contains the json files and that is defined as:

example: { 'example1' : 'v1', 'example2': 'v2''}

---

• name: Update endpoint block:

  • name: Update endpoint uri: url: "{{url}}/api/v1/{{item.key}}/" method: PUT body: "{{ lookup('file', '{{item.key}}/{{item.value}}.json') }}" status_code: 200 body_format: json headers: Content-Type: "application/json" Authorization: "Token {{ token.json.token }}" with_dict: "{{ example }}" register: updated

Given the task fails and I get a 4xx error when the api endpoint for the item does not exist, I want to run a POST command for that same json file or same {{item.key}} and {{item.value}} in reference to my specific JSON file.

How can I do this in ansible, to retry a task that failed but only specifically for that {{item.key}} and {{item.value}} in dictionary?

or

Is there a better way to do this to retry a failed PUT with a POST command

I want to use the ansible URI module

Thanks!
