Hi Experts,
I am a newcomer to Ansible.
I need help in accessing a variable between different hosts/play on the
playbook. In below code, group of servers is passed here dynamically and
creating tempfile directory for each hosts on the Ansible server.
In the second play, i am unable to access the tempfile directory name
(stagingdir) for the hosts, probably i am not using the correct approach
using hostvars.
Can you please help & guide me to access the stagingdir value of hosts in
the first play from the second play below ?
##################
- hosts: "{{host}}"
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Create local staging dir
local_action:
module: tempfile
state: directory
register: stagingdir
- name: print stdout in same play
debug: msg="Value of the variable is {{
hostvars[inventory_hostname].stagingdir.path }}"
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: print stdout in next play
debug: msg="Value of the variable is {{ hostvars[ "{{host}}"
].stagingdir.path }}"
