I'm trying to remove config files from a host if they are no longer managed
by ansible.
The ansible managed files are in a dictionary similar to the following :
config_files:
vhost01:
servername: vhost01
domain: company.com
vhost02:
servername: vhost02
domain: company.com
And get added to the host as follows :
- name: Add ansible managed vhost config files.
template:
src: vhost.j2
dest: "{{ vhost_path }}/{{ item.key }}.conf"
mode: 0644
with_dict: "{{ config_files }}"
But when attempting to remove them with the following it does not work :
- name: Build list of ansible managed files.
shell: echo "{{ item.key }}.conf"
with_dict: "{{ config_files }}"
register: managed_files
- name: Build list of config files on host.
shell: ls -1 "{{ vhost_path }}"
register: vhost_config_files
- name: Remove unmanaged vhost config files.
file:
path: "{{ vhost_path }}/{{ item }}"
state: absent
with_items: vhost_config_files.stdout_lines
when: item not in managed_files.stdout_lines
The error is as follows :
Unable to look up a name or access an attribute in template string ({% if
item not in managed_files.stdout_lines %} True {% else %} False {% endif %})
Here is the output of managed_files :
{"msg": "All items completed", "changed": true, "results":

Here is the output of vhost_config_files :
{"start": "2017-01-10 12:14:06.895256", "delta": "0:00:00.002718", "cmd":

"stderr": "", "stdout":
"dummy.conf\nvhost01.conf\nvhost02.conf\nvhost03.conf", "stdout_lines":
["dummy.conf", "vhost01.conf", "vhost02.conf", "vhost03.conf"], "changed":
true, "rc": 0, "warnings": []}
I would expect it to remove dummy.conf and vhost03.conf from the host.
Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
I am running Ansible version 2.2.0.0
