Overview
Install a Homebrew formula or cask. Also see:
To install a formula:
- name: Install bash
homebrew:
name: bash
register: brew_install_result
To install a cask:
- name: Install Corretto 11
homebrew_cask:
name: corretto11
register: brew_install_result
In both cases, brew_install_result
is initialized to something similar to:
{
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"msg": "Cask already installed: corretto11"
}
The variable can be used to detect whether the installation changed something on the filesystem or not:
- name: Setting Update Fact
set_fact:
brew_formula_or_cask_installed_or_updated: "{{ brew_install_result.changed | bool}}"
- name: "info"
when: brew_formula_or_cask_installed_or_updated
debug:
msg: "Formula/Cask Was Installed or Updated"
- name: "info"
when: not brew_formula_or_cask_installed_or_updated
debug:
msg: "Formula/Cask Was NOT Modified"
