Re: [ansible-project] List of items in deb parameter of apt module
Sorry, too fast. There is a deb parameter!
But according to
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/apt_module.html that
parameter does not support a list argument.
The "name" parameter does.
The porting guide says this explicitly:
"Instead of relying on implicit squashing, tasks should instead supply
the list directly to the name, pkg or package parameter of the
module."
So if you need to iterate over a list of local deb files, you'd still
have to do it in a loop.

The apt module does not have a "deb" parameter. Use "name" instead.

[ansible-project] List of items in deb parameter of apt module
Hi!
Since the with_items are going to be deprecated and following the porting
guide here:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.7.html
I tried to rewrite some of my tasks where I am installing debian packages
to use list format (which works with packages that come from a debian
repository in the name parameter), but ran into an issue.
It seems that the deb parameter does not work with lists.
This is what I have (and works)
- name: Install local .deb-packages
apt:
deb: "{{ item }}"
state: present
with_items:
- "/some/path/packet_A.deb"
- "/some/path/packet_B.deb"
and this is what I tried to do (which fails)
- name: Install local .deb-packages
apt:
deb:
- "/some/path/packet_A.deb"
- "/some/path/packet_B.deb"
state: present
Did I misunderstand something or is this an open issue in the apt module
that needs to be fixed before deprecating the with_items variant?
Thanks for your help in advance!
