Hi,
I am working on some tasks related with local facts and not sure whether
followig issue is a bug or is designed.
Following ansible documentation localfacts can be in JSON or INI format.
I've choosen JSON format - is much more easier to write variables like this:
module:
name: "apache"
version: "1.0.4"
status: "Installed"
Saving this with following task brings result:
- name: Write variable to json file
copy: content="{{ module }}" dest=/etc/ansible/facts.d/{{ module.name
}}.fact
owner=root group=root mode=0644
Result:
{'status': 'Installed', 'version': '1.0.4', 'name': 'apache'}
However python is not able read this anymore - including ansible:
ok: [IP-HERE] =>
{
"msg": "work - variable: {u'apache': u'error loading fact - please
check content'}"
}
Command from python:
# cat apache.fact | python -mjson.tool
Expecting property name: line 1 column 1 (char 1)
Converting this local facts with following task / command - automatically
allow read this file by python and ansible.
- name: Fix wrong json format in local facts
shell: sed -i "s/'/\"/g" *.fact chdir=/etc/ansible/facts.d/
Could you advice whether I should raise this on Github bug list or this is
working exectly as should?
Best regards,
Marcin Praczko
