Yeah, my fault, I took the very simple example where the new construct
isn't really different from the old one.
If I take the more complex example from the documentation:
- name: give users access to multiple databases
mysql_user:
name: "{{ item[0] }}"
priv: "{{ item[1] }}.*:ALL"
append_privs: yes
password: "foo"
loop: "{{ query('nested', [ 'alice', 'bob' ], [ 'clientdb',
'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]) }}"
It used to be:
- name: give users access to multiple databases
mysql_user:
name: "{{ item[0] }}"
priv: "{{ item[1] }}.*:ALL"
append_privs: yes
password: "foo"
with_nested:
- [ 'alice', 'bob' ]
- [ 'clientdb', 'employeedb', 'providerdb' ]
What I mean is that the loop's string with the query/lookup is now a
string containing lists of strings, with no syntax highlighting and a
worse readability (and some strange behaviours if you don't get the
quoting right).
As for the actual implementation, yours is as good as mine, important to
my eyes is that it remains a YAML structure and no string.
