If the messages are acknowledged, changed is set to True, otherwise, changed is False.
push_endpoint

Subfield of subscription. Not required. If specified, message will be sent to an endpoint. See https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/advanced#push_endpoints for more information.
state
-
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
State of the topic or queue.
Applies to the most granular resource.
If subscription isspecified we remove it.
If only topic is specified, that is what is removed.
NOTE - A topic can be removed without first removing the subscription.
subscription
-
Dictionary containing a subscription name associated with a topic (required), along with optional ack_deadline, push_endpoint and pull. For pulling from a subscription, message_ack (bool), max_messages (int) and return_immediate are available as subfields. See subfields name, push_endpoint and ack_deadline for more information.
topic
- / required
GCP pubsub topic name.
Only the name, not the full path, is required.

Notes

Note

  • Subscription pull happens before publish. You cannot publish and pull in the same task.

# (Message will be pushed; there is no check to see if the message was pushed before

    state: present

# Subscriptions associated with topic are not deleted.
- name: Delete Topic
  gcpubsub:
    topic: ansible-topic-example

  gcpubsub:
    topic: '{{ topic_name }}'
    state: present
    publish:
      - message: this is message 1
