Hi all,

Trying to pull together my understanding of Jinja's looping constructs, 
Ansible's with_dict and from what I've seen out in the wild (i.e. on 
GitHub). I've taken a look around at some other examples but can't seem to 
adapt them to my approach 
(i.e. 
https://github.com/timmahoney/ansible-redhat-extra-repos/blob/master/defaults/main.yml
 
is close to what I'm after)

At the moment I'm attempting to loop over a YAML dict of OS user <-> DB 
user mappings (for pg_ident.conf) and am running into an error:

*# host_vars/<hostname>*
postgres_users:
  baltar:
    os: "{{ username }}"
    db: "{{ db_name }}"
  caprica:
    os: "{{ username }}"
    db: "{{ db_name }}"
 
*# pg_ident.conf.j2*
 
{% for user in postgres_users %}
{{ user.db }}   {{ user.os }}           {{ user.key }}
{% endfor %}
 
*# roles/postgresql/tasks/postgres.yml*
 
- name: copy postgres ident maps
  template: src=pg_ident.conf.j2 
dest=/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_ident.conf owner=postgres group=postgres 
mode=0640
  register: postgres_ident
  with_dict: postgres_users
 
*# error message*
 
TASK: [postgres | copy postgres ident maps] 
***********************************
fatal: [default] => {'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or more 
undefined variables: 'str object' has no attribute 'db'", 'failed': True}
fatal: [default] => {'msg': 'One or more items failed.', 'failed': True, 
'changed': False, 'results': [{'msg': "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: One or 
more undefined variables: 'str object' has no attribute 'db'", 'failed': 
True}]}

I've also attempted the below:


*# host_vars/<hostname>*
# same as before

*# template*
{% for k, v in item %}
{{ v.db }}   {{ v.os }}           {{ k }}
{% endfor %}

*# task*
# same as before

This fails with "too many values to unpack".

Which is the functional and favored approach? I'd rather the map keys be 
the names but can't seem to get this to work.
