Hello Folks,
I have a debugging question that has left me scratching my head. I
have a vars file with the following vars (using ansible 2.3.2.0):
packages1:
one:
version: "one-ish"
two:
version: "two-ish"
##
I have a playbook with the following debugging statements:
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars_files:
- vars.yml
tasks:
- debug:
var: "{{ item.version }}"
with_items: "{{ packages1 }}"
- debug:
var: packages1.one.version
- debug:
var: packages1
##
Here is the result:
TASK [debug]
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args'
has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is
undefined. The error was: *'ansible.vars.unsafe_proxy.AnsibleUnsafeText
object'*
if I just print the items:
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars_files:
- vars.yml
tasks:
- debug:
var: "{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ packages1 }}"
- debug:
var: packages1.one.version
- debug:
var: packages1
I get the following results:
ansible-playbook play.yml
[WARNING]: Host file not found: /etc/ansible/hosts
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available
PLAY [localhost]
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

}

"packages1": {

},
"two": {

}
}
}
PLAY RECAP
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
Why can't the "with_items" loop pickup list elements and it's values?? What
am I missing here?
