I'm currently stuck on a bit of an issue trying to pass complex variables to a role that I've created, please see this Gist for an example:
https://gist.github.com/Synforge/9665085 I'm currently using Ansible with hash_behaviour merge as I want to manage configuration parameters as a hash and then override some of the default variables using host_vars and group_vars without having to specify all mysql parameters. In the example above I have a mysql role that has various defaults as a hash for the configuration file, the idea is that with merge I can override some of these parameters by passing in a complex variable from my host_vars folder. I have host_vars set up so that at the moment it only overrides the server_id parameter. The issue that I'm having is that the hashes seem to be being passed in as a string to the role (I've tried old style variable and new style variable substitution without any luck) so I get this trace when it attempts to merge the hashes together: fatal: [mysql-master-1.example.org] => Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/paul/dev/ansible/lib/ansible/runner/__init__.py", line 527, in_executor exec_rc = self._executor_internal(host, new_stdin) File "/home/paul/dev/ansible/lib/ansible/runner/__init__.py", line 562, in_executor_internal inject = utils.combine_vars(inject, self.module_vars) File "/home/paul/dev/ansible/lib/ansible/utils/__init__.py", line 1060, incombine_vars return merge_hash(a, b) File "/home/paul/dev/ansible/lib/ansible/utils/__init__.py", line 545, inmerge_hash result[k] = merge_hash(a[k], v) File "/home/paul/dev/ansible/lib/ansible/utils/__init__.py", line 540, inmerge_hash for k, v in b.iteritems(): AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'iteritems' Can anyone confirm whether this is an error with my configuration or a known issue?
