Why does this syntax work for debug but not set_fact? How can I actually
use the debug output on the other host?
Pure luck that the debug work and you yaml syntax is wrong of set_fact.
*Playbook:*
---
- name: Target Host
hosts: "{{ target }}"
tasks:
- name: Register foo
command: 'echo Hello World'
register: foo
- name: Different Host
hosts: ptl01a0fap005
tasks:
- debug: var=hostvars[groups['{{ target }}'][0]]['foo']['stdout']
You should not use {{ }} and ', correct syntax is
- debug: var=hostvars[groups[target][0]]['foo']['stdout']
- name: set_fact bar
set_fact:
bar=hostvars['{{ target }}'][0]]['foo']['stdout']
<snip />
- name: set_fact bar
set_fact:
bar="{{ hostvars['{{ target }}'][0]]['foo']['stdout'] }}"
This is wrong yaml syntax.
bar= should be bar:
And also here you can't use {{ }} inside a template, and a '' indicate a
string not a variable.
Correct syntax is
bar: "{{ hostvars[target][0]]['foo']['stdout'] }}"
But I guess this will also fail since target=Test5 that is a group, so
it will not find hostvars for a host called Test5. Maybe you forgot to
include the group as you did in debug task.
