Hi all I am trying to pass the ansible hostnames as an array list to python script but could not figure out where the extra characters are coming from. I am passing with ansible_play_hosts_all variable. In my host file there are 2 hoosts 1ld501 and 1ld994. but it is passing some unexpected character marked in red.
*Playbook:* --- - name: Execute writetoexcel python script: ./roles/writetoexcel.py *{{ ansible_play_hosts_all }}* args: executable: python3 delegate_to: localhost *Output:* <localhost> EXEC /bin/sh -c ' python3 /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1687354259.71-24015-237464957552077/writetoexcel.py [*u'"'"'*1ld501*'"'"'*,* u'"'"*'1ld994*'"'"'*] && sleep 0' changed: [1ld501 -> localhost] => { "changed": true, "rc": 0, "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "[['[u1ld501,', 'u1ld994]']]\nData written to Excel successfully!\n", "stdout_lines": [ "[['[u1ld501,', 'u1ld994]']]", "Data written to Excel successfully!" ] } Tried with Ansible_hostname no extra characters are there. It is as expected. Please suggest. *Playbook:* --- - name: Execute writetoexcel python script: ./roles/writetoexcel.py* {{ ansible_hostname }}* args: executable: python3 delegate_to: localhost *Output:* <localhost> EXEC /bin/sh -c ' python3 /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1687354332.97-25377-185430066289739/writetoexcel.py *1ld994* && sleep 0' <localhost> EXEC /bin/sh -c 'rm -f -r /root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1687354332.95-25376-35834468227973/ > /dev/null 2>&1 && sleep 0' changed: [jp1ld501 -> localhost] => { "changed": true, "rc": 0, "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "[['1ld994']]\nData written to Excel successfully!\n", "stdout_lines": [ "[['1ld994']]", "Data written to Excel successfully!" ] } Regards PD -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
