I created the simple ansible playbook to install apache on CentOS and Suse. It works on CentOS but skipping on Suse without any errors, I do not understand why.

This is the playbook:

name: To install Apache on CentOS and Suse hosts: all gather_facts: True become: yes become_user: root

tasks:
  - name: Installing Apache on CentOS or RedHat
    yum:
      name: httpd
      state: latest
    when: ansible_facts['distribution']=="CentOS" or ansible_facts['distribution']=="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"

  - name: Installing Apache on Suse
    zypper:
      name: apache2
      state: latest
    when: ansible_facts['distribution']=="Suse" or ansible_facts['distribution']=="SLES"

use the [`debug`](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/debug_module.html) module and check the actual value of `ansible_facts['distribution']`. – Gerald Schneider Apr 28 '23 at 05:18
I added: register and debug for both and then for both I got: VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED! – emp0001 Apr 28 '23 at 12:35
There is your answer why it's not working. Inspect `ansible_facts` and find an attribute that exists. – Gerald Schneider Apr 28 '23 at 12:36
ok, thank you that works – emp0001 Apr 28 '23 at 13:13
