I have a variable defined in group_vars that I'm trying to use in a task
but it is failing for me. So I created a debug task to dump the contents of
this variable so I can see what ansible thinks is defined. If I try the
following:
- debug: var=mysql
It outputs "mysql": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!". I changed the above debug
task to:
- debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname]['mysql']
When I run it with the change above I get instead:
"hostvars[inventory_hostname]['mysql']": {
"dbs": [
{
"backup": {
"retention": 3,
"window": "06:00-06:30"
},
"name": "db1",
"size": 100,
"type": "rds",
"users": [
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"name": "db1user",
"password": "userpass",
"privs": [
"db1.*:ALL"
]
}
]
},
{
"name": "db2",
"type": "mysql",
"users": [
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "::1",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "localhost",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "{{
hostvars[inventory_hostname][ansible_hostname] }}",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"name": "db2user",
"password": "userpass",
"privs": [
"db2.*:ALL"
]
}
]
},
{
"name": "db3",
"type": "mysql",
"users": [
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "::1",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "localhost",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "{{
hostvars[inventory_hostname][ansible_hostname] }}",
"name": "root",
"password": "testpass",
"privs": [
"*.*:ALL"
]
},
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"name": "db3user",
"password": "userpass",
"privs": [
"db3.*:ALL"
]
}
]
}
]
}
So, it works when I reference the var from the hostvars, but when I
reference it as a standalone variable it doesn't. I also checked with some
other vars that are defined in the exact same way within my group_vars, and
they output fine whichever method I use.
What's the issue here? Am I missing something?
