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

When you are using register and with_dict together, all the result will be a list in managed_files.results, one item in the list for every iteration.
So the managed_files.stdout_lines doesn't exist.


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 :

Here is the output of vhost_config_files :

{"start": "2017-01-10 12:14:06.895256", "delta": "0:00:00.002718", "cmd":

["dummy.conf", "vhost01.conf", "vhost02.conf", "vhost03.conf"], "changed":
true, "rc": 0, "warnings": []}

I recommend using
- debug: var=managed_files
and
- debug: var=vhost_config_files

Then you get it in more human readable format, and you can easily the structure of the variable.
