Is there a way to running a role until it succeeds in a play?

Question

I have a role name system_check. After the system start up, I need to wait until this role succeeds.

Is there a way to run this role repeatedly until it succeeds?

Q: "Is there a way to running a role until it succeeds in a play?"

A: It's not possible. The module include_role says

Ignores some keywords, like until and retries.

Instead, use ansible-runner. For example Use Runner as a standalone command line tool and test artifacts (rc, status, stdout).

For example

#!/bin/bash

rcfile=private1/artifacts/ID01/rc
statusfile=private1/artifacts/ID01/status

    ansible-runner -p test.yml -i ID01 run private1
    rc=$(cat $rcfile)
    echo "rc: $rc"

    until [ "0"  == "$rc" ]; do
        ansible-runner -p test.yml -i ID01 run private1
        rc=$(cat $rcfile)
        echo "rc: $rc"
    done
