Hello,
I've written a role including two python modules, one to provide Ansible
with a list of new host names in order to create a dynamic group and
another one using the list of all hosts. Here is a part of the main.yml
file of the role:
- name: Get list of new hosts
get_new_hosts:
register: get_new_hosts_return
- name: Create 'new' dynamic group
add_host: name={{ item }} group=new
with_items: get_new_hosts_return.host_list
- name: DEBUG... check full host list
debug: msg={{ groups['all'] }}
- name: Run task using all hosts
use_all_hosts: "{host_list: {{ groups['all'] }}, arg2: 'val_2', arg_3:
True}"
In the debug task, host names are correctly displayed. Then I run the next
python module using the inventory *groups['all']*. You see that I send
arguments as a YAML string and I just read them in the python module
through the *yaml.load()* function. It works correctly but the problem is
that I get arguments from the args file as:
{host_list: ['host_name_1', 'host_name_2', ... , u'new_host_name_1', u
'new_host_name_2', ...], arg_2: 'val_2', arg_3: True}
Host names from the dynamic group are written as the string
*u'new_host_name'* that is not a Unicode string, just a Python
representation of Unicode. Then I cannot read correct names except if I
remove the *u''* characters.
Is there something wrong in what I wrote? In such a case what?
Thank you in advance for your help.
