Hi, I'm trying to register the output of a command which returns json. When I do this as a standalone task (not role) it works fine, for example:
- name: x hosts: localhost tasks: - shell: aws iam list-server-certificates register: y - set_fact: test: "{{ y.stdout }}" - debug: msg="{{ item.Arn }}" with_items: test.ServerCertficateMetadataList Will correctly report the Arn for all my certificates, however, when I perform the same action in a role: - name: x shell: aws iam list-server-certificates register: output - name: y set_fact: json="{{ output.stdout }}" - debug: msg="{{ json }}" - debug: msg="{{ item }}" with_items: json.ServerCertificateMetadataList it fails with the following message: debug msg="{{ json }}"] *********************************** ok: [127.0.0.1] => { "msg": "{u'ServerCertificateMetadataList': [{u'ServerCertificateId': ... debug msg="{{ item }}"] *********************************** ok: [127.0.0.1] => (item=json.ServerCertificateMetadataList) => { "item": "json.ServerCertificateMetadataList", "msg": "json.ServerCertificateMetadataList" } Differences in debug output between the task and the role: tasks: "msg": "{'ServerCertificateMetadataList': [{'ServerCertificateId': role: "msg": "{u'ServerCertificateMetadataList': [{u'ServerCertificateId': Hope someone can help.
