[SOLVED] ansible-playbook ansible-yum_repository writing to console

Issue

I have an playbook that does this:

- name: Add Copr Yum Repository
  yum_repository:
    name: czanik-syslog-ng-githead
    description: Copr repo for syslog-ng-githead owned by czanik
    baseurl: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/czanik/syslog-ng-githead/epel-7-$basearch/
    skip_if_unavailable: yes
    gpgkey: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/czanik/syslog-ng-githead/pubkey.gpg
    repo_gpgcheck: no
    enabled: yes

I run my playbook from cron every 15 minutes and every 15 minutes I see this ...

... get written to the console. It is very annoying, especially if you are editing a file as root or tailing output of some log file. How do I make it stop?

Solution

Set no_log: True in the task. This way, Ansible won’t log the task

- name: Add Copr Yum Repository
  yum_repository:
    name: czanik-syslog-ng-githead
    description: Copr repo for syslog-ng-githead owned by czanik
    baseurl: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/czanik/syslog-ng-githead/epel-7-$basearch/
    skip_if_unavailable: yes
    gpgkey: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/czanik/syslog-ng-githead/pubkey.gpg
    repo_gpgcheck: no
    enabled: yes
  no_log: True

You must set the variable for the whole task, not the yum module specifically.
