Hi,
Trying to create files based on sourcefile, and of course when this
construction works.. i will use it on lots of things.
Version: ansible 2.4.2.0
I am trying to go through a source file ( in this case a list with users)
and use every line i return in the file with the with_items loop to create
files based on the each line.
As you can see the return is "user1\nuser2\nuser3\nuser4"
i want to split the lines, so i can use the value/string of each individual
line.
I am still fairly new with Ansible, so I am probably missing something
fundamental.
What am i missing? Why can't i use stdout_lines on a lookup return?
"When stdout is returned, Ansible always provides a list of strings, each
containing one item per line from the original output."
*$cat /etc/remote_users.txt*
user1
user2
user3
user4
*$cat /opt/ansible/roles/testing/vars/main.yml*
---
users: "{{ lookup('file', '/etc/remote_users.txt') }}"
*$cat /opt/ansible/roles/testing/tasks/google.yml*
---
- debug: msg="the value of source text is {{ users }}"
- name: test files
file:
path: /home/thijn/{{ item }}
state: touch
mode: u=rw,g=r,o=r"
with_items: "{{ users.stdout_lines }}"
#with_items: "{{ users.stdout.split() }}"
#with_items: "{{ users.stdout.split('/n') }}"
*Expected to have the following files created:*
/home/thijn/user1
/home/thijn/user2
/home/thijn/user3
/home/thijn/user4
*Actual output:*
TASK [testing : debug]
