Look at your quoting here ... name: set fact specific VM group ansible.builtin.set_fact: vm_groups: “{{ group_info.drs_group_info[vcenter_env.cluster] | selectattr('type', '==', "vm" ) | list }}”
That first and last quote are a "smart quotes" (leaning quotes). Your quotes around "vm" are double quotes. 1) You can't have smart quotes. Change to normal double quotes. 2) You can't have double quotes inside double quotes. Change "vm" to 'vm'. name: set fact specific VM group ansible.builtin.set_fact: vm_groups: "{{ group_info.drs_group_info[vcenter_env.cluster] | selectattr('type', '==', 'vm' ) | list }}" Walter -- Walter Rowe, Division Chief Infrastructure Services, OISM Mobile: 202.355.4123 On Jul 14, 2023, at 8:32 AM, Deepak B K <deepa...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Todd, Please find output below ansible task - name: Show registered var group_info and vm_name ansible.builtin.debug: msg: - "group_info: {{ group_info }}" - "vm_name: {{ vm_name }}" TASK [Show registered var group_info and vm_name] ************************************************************** ok: [NED-TST1x] => { "msg": [ "group_info: {'failed': False, 'drs_group_info': {'NED-Cluster': [{'group_name': 'NED-HOST001-HG', 'hosts': ['ned-host612-hyp'], 'type': 'host'}, {'group_name': 'VM2-on-dev', 'vms': ['deep-test', 'NED-DEV601-X'], 'type': 'vm'}, {'group_name': 'VM2-on-uat', 'vms': ['NED-TST601-X'], 'type': 'vm'}]}, 'changed': False}", "vm_name: NED-TST601-X" ] } Thanks & Regards Deepak Kumar On Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 12:47 PM Deepak B K <deepa...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Groups , I am trying to parse the list variable but I am getting ansible unsafe text I need to match the vm name and get the corresponding vm group from the registered variable vm_groups. tasks: - name: "Gather DRS info about given Cluster" community.vmware.vmware_drs_group_info: hostname: "{{ vcenter.hostname }}" username: "{{ vcenter.username }}" password: "{{ vcenter.password }}" validate_certs: "{{ vcenter.validate_certs }}" cluster_name: "{{ vcenter_env.cluster }}" delegate_to: localhost register: group_info - name: set fact specific group_info VM groups ansible.builtin.set_fact: match_vm_group: "{{ item.drs_group_info[vcenter_env.cluster] | regex_search(vm_name) }}" when: "{{ item.drs_group_info[vcenter_env.cluster] | regex_search( vm_name ) }}" loop: "{{ group_info }}" name: set fact specific VM group ansible.builtin.set_fact: vm_groups: “{{ group_info.drs_group_info[vcenter_env.cluster] | selectattr('type', '==', "vm" ) | list }}” "vm_groups": "“[{'group_name': VM2-on-dev', 'vms': ['deep-test', 'NED-DEV601-X'], 'type': 'vm'}, {'group_name': 'VM2-on-uat', 'vms': ['NED-TST601-X'], 'type': 'vm'} } I appreciate your quick help .
