Hello - Assistance requested.

I believe I've coded a nasty bug into my ansible playbook and I'm not sure 
how to unravel it. In my observations, the code throws an "Unexpected 
templating type error occurred" whenever I *first *run a task. All 
subsequent runs do not throw the error again, even if I backout the changes 
to redo them. Some code snippets below. 

role1/tasks/main.yml:
- name: database param_def select
  tags: db
  include: roles/role_utility_sqlplus/tasks/main.yml
  vars:
    query_type: "select"
    table: "param_def"
    filename: "dbselect_paramdef_mhe.sql"
    db_logname: "{{ WMS_Schema }}_{{ WMS_Servicename }}_db_paramdef_mhe_{{ 
lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S') }}.log"
    db_absolute_logpath: "/dev/null"

- name: set_fact database select output
  tags: db
  set_fact:
    db_select_output: "{{ expect_output }}"

- name: database param_def insert
  tags: db
  include: roles/role_utility_sqlplus/tasks/main.yml
  vars:
    query_type: "insert"
    table: "param_def"
    filename: "dbinsert_paramdef_mhe.sql"
    db_logname: "{{ WMS_Schema }}_{{ WMS_Servicename }}_db_paramdef_mhe_{{ 
lookup('pipe', 'date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S') }}.log"
    db_absolute_logpath: "{{ log_dir }}/{{ db_logname }}"
  when: db_select_output.stdout | search("no rows selected")

roles/role_utility_sqlplus/tasks/main.yml:
- name: Database - Stage {{ table }} {{ query_type }} sql from template
  tags: db
  template:
    src={{ filename }}.j2
    dest="{{ staged_config_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}/{{ 
filename }}"
    backup=yes
  changed_when: false


- name: Database - Execute {{ table }} {{ query_type }}
  tags: db
  expect:
    command: "/bin/bash"
    responses:
      \$ $:
        - . ~/.profile
        - "sqlplus {{ WMS_Schema }}/$PASSWORD@{{ WMS_Servicename }}"
        - exit
      SQL> $:
        - set echo on
        - spool {{ db_absolute_logpath }}
        - "@{{ staged_config_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}/{{ 
filename }}"
        - spool off
        - quit
    timeout: 5
    echo: yes
  register: expect_output
  changed_when: query_type != "select"
  failed_when: expect_output.stdout | search("(ORA|SP2)-[0-9]+")

Occasional 'first time' error:

> TASK [role_config_mhe : Database - Execute param_def include] 
> *******************
> fatal: [ptl01a0fap006]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "The 
> conditional check 'expect_output.stdout | search(\"(ORA|SP2)-[0-9]+\")' 
> failed. The error was: Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({% 
> if expect_output.stdout | search(\"(ORA|SP2)-[0-9]+\") %} True {% else %} 
> False {% endif %}): expected string or buffer"}


Essentially, I have a role that includes a utility role for sqlplus work. 
It somestimes trips on the 'failed_when' statement in the included sqlplus 
role. I believe this has something to do with use an include (with 
conditional) and then that include also has conditionals, such that they 
are mashing together and sometimes breaking the 'template' behind the 
scenes. It could also be the scope of registered variable 'expect_output', 
which I believe I resolved by declaring 'db_select_output' in role1.

Any thoughts? It is working right now because I let the 'first time' 
failures pass. Now I can't reproduce. I'm worried I have a nasty bug that 
will bite me later. Any advice is helpful.

Thanks!
