I am having trouble getting ansible to parse my variable values correctly.
I have defined a variable:
installArguments: "appPoolName='UiService'; dbPassword='password';
dbUserId='user'"
I then have a playbook that makes the following call:
- name: Deploy Launcher
script: deployLauncher.ps1 -env {{ env }} -appName {{ appName }} -artifacts
{{ artifacts }} -installArguments @{ '{{ installArguments }}' }
-deployNumber {{ deployNumber }} {{ switch }}
If I don't include the single quotes around {{installArguments}} I get a
complaint about the equal sign being unquoted.
deployLauncher.ps1 is meant to simply echo back the variables at this point.
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=0)][string] $env,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=1)][string] $server,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=2)][string] $appName,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=3)][string[]] $artifacts, #first
contains install script
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=4)][hashtable] $installArguments =
@{},
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position=5)][string] $deployNumber,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false,Position=6)][switch] $switch
)
#./testLauncher -env Local -server serverName -appName Name -artifacts
artifacts.zip -installArguments @{key='value'} -deployNumber 123 -switch
Write-Output "Env: $env Server: $server AppName: $appName Artifacts:
$artifacts InstallArguments: $installArguments DeployNumber: $deployNumber
Switch: $switch"
When I run the playbook I get the following powershell error.
TASK: [common | debug var=deployLauncher]
************************************* ok: [mdm-wsrv98] => {
"deployLauncher": { "changed": true, "invocation": { "module_args":
"deployLauncher.ps1 -env LOCAL -appName UiService.Event -artifacts
UiService.Event.zip -installArguments @{ 'appPoolName='UiService';
dbPassword='password'; dbUserId='user'' } -deployNumber 456 -switch",
"module_name": "script" }, "rc": 0, "stderr":
"C:\\Users\\ansible\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\ansible-tmp-1413821995.23-24997058650291\\de\r\nployLauncher.ps1

"stdout": "", "stdout_lines": [] } }
I think that my issue is that ansible is inserting a single quote after @{
and again after 'user' which isn't valid powershell array syntax. Is there
a better way to quote this so that these don't get included?
Thanks!
