I'm trying to unify the way I install packages, I have the following
vars/main.yml:
---
packages:
system:
common:
- crudini
- dump
- duplicity
- git
- mdadm
- irssi
- lynx
- postfix
- powerline
- rsync
- tmux
- vim
Debian:
- ntp
Fedora:
- langpacks-en
- langpacks-nl
- livecd-tools
- rktime
- tmux-powerline
- tuned
- vim-powerline
And the following task:
- block:
- name: install ansible dependencies
package: name={{ item }} state=present
with_flattened:
- "{{ packages.system.common }}"
- "{{ packages.system.Fedora }}"
- "{{ vars['packages.system.' + ansible_distribution] }}"
when: ansible_distribution == "Fedora"
tags:
install_custom2
Which results in the following error:
TASK [common : install ansible dependencies]
*******************************************************************************************
fatal: [host]: FAILED! => {"msg": "'dict object' has no attribute
u'packages.system.Fedora'"}
Please note that the "{{ packages.system.Fedora }}" works fine but the "{{
vars['packages.system.' + ansible_distribution] }}" fails (which expands to
packages.system.Fedora as well). It looks like a type error. When I
organize the package names in vars/main.yml as separate lists, it does
work. But I would like to create this dictionary structure since it
organizes the variables nicely. Is there a way to expand dictionary
variables dynamically just like list variables?
