I have a problem when using the ini_file module as follows:
---
- name: Test 'ini_file'
hosts: mediaserver
user: root
tasks:
- name: Create 'config.ini' to include necessary values
ini_file:
dest=/root/testconfig.ini
section={{ item.section }}
option={{ item.option }}
value={{ item.value }}
with_items:
- { section: 'General', option: 'test1', value: 'value2' }
- { section: 'General2', option: 'test2', value: 2 }
- { section: 'General3', option: 'test3', value: 'This is a test' }
Will produce the following results:
root@ansibleControl:~# ansible-playbook test.yml
PLAY [Test 'ini_file']

PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
to retry, use: --limit @/root/test.retry
192.168.154.243 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1
It appears that the 'value', even though it is wrapped in quotes, is being
treated as a list.
I am wondering if this is a bug.
