Public bug reported: The ansible-2.5.1+dfsg-1 package that is included in the Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS is faulty. Adding items to a list inside a loop using set_fact will actually only keep the last item of the list. This is a known problem upstream [1] and has been fixed in Ansible 2.5.2. This currently renders Ansible unusable in my use case.
Backport of this fix or update to at least 2.5.2 would be crucial to fix the issue. olli@FI-00000770:~/ansible$ ansible --version ansible 2.5.1 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/home/eollsal/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible executable location = /usr/bin/ansible python version = 2.7.15rc1 (default, Nov 12 2018, 14:31:15) [GCC 7.3.0] olli@FI-00000770:~/ansible$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS" References: [1] https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/38991 ** Affects: ansible (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825096 Title: ansible: set_fact in with_items append loop only keeps last item To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ansible/+bug/1825096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
