How can I hide skipped tasks output in Ansible

Question

I have Ansible role, for example

---
- name: Deploy app1
  include: deploy-app1.yml
  when: \'deploy_project == \"{{app1}}\"\'

- name: Deploy app2
  include

If you are using roles, you can use when to cancel the include in main.yml

# roles/myrole/tasks/main.yml
- include: somefile.yml
  when: somevar is defined


# roles/myrole/tasks/somefile.yml
- name: this task will only run (and be seen in the output) if somevar is defined
  debug:
    msg: "Hello World"
