Do you guys know why ansible gives me an error 'item' is undefined on this
specific case?
Version:
Ansible 2.0.0.2
Ubuntu 15.10
- name: Synchronize files
synchronize:
src: "{{ item.source }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
recursive: yes
links: yes
times: yes
rsync_opts: "--devices"
with_items:
- { source: project/conf/file.conf, dest: /etc/asdf/nginx.conf }
- { source: project/conf/somefolder/, dest: /etc/asdf/somefolder/ }
- { source: /conf/asdf/anotherfolder/, dest: /etc/asfd/anotherfolder/
}
Result:
TASK [mumbojumbo: Synchronize files]
***********************************************
task path: /home/asdf/wef/main.yml:27
fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "ERROR! 'item'
is undefined"}
*Second problem with the same case:*
By some reason using quotes causes an Syntax error?
- name: Synchronize files
synchronize:
src: "{{ item.source }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest }}"
recursive: yes
links: yes
times: yes
rsync_opts: "--devices"
with_items:
- { source: 'project/conf/file.conf', dest: '/etc/asdf/nginx.conf' }
- { source: 'project/conf/somefolder/', dest: '/etc/asdf/somefolder/'
}
- { source: '/conf/asdf/anotherfolder/', dest:
'/etc/asfd/anotherfolder/' }

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
The error appears to have been in
'/home/osboxes/analytics/tstdeployment/roles/orfer/tasks/main.yml': line
36, column 86, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
with_items:
- { source: 'project/conf/file.conf', dest: '/etc/asdf/nginx.conf' }

This one looks easy to fix. It seems that there is a value started
with a quote, and the YAML parser is expecting to see the line ended
with the same kind of quote. For instance:
when: "ok" in result.stdout
Could be written as:
when: '"ok" in result.stdout'
Or equivalently:
when: "'ok' in result.stdout"
