- hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
my_list: "hello,how,are,you"
tasks:
- debug: msg="hi how are ? "
when:
- "{{ my_list | select('search','are') }}" == "are"
- debug: msg="hi how you ? "
when:
- "{{ my_list | select('search','you') }}" == "you"
I did but got below error :
[WARNING]: Could not match supplied host pattern, ignoring: all
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in '/home/vagrant/a.yml': line 10, column
52, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
when:
- "{{ my_list | select('search','are') }}" == "are"
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
exception type: <class 'yaml.parser.ParserError'>
exception: while parsing a block collection
in "<unicode string>", line 10, column 9
did not find expected '-' indicator
in "<unicode string>", line 10, column 52
