You have to quote the dictionary key as well.
FROM
- { src_tar: '/home/virtual/xx/sample.tar.gz', dest_tar: '/tmp/sss/' }
TO
- { 'src_tar': '/home/virtual/xx/sample.tar.gz', 'dest_tar': '/tmp/sss/' }
Here is the working example. If you write a role and call that role from
playbook then you no need to use var_files section. vars/main.yml is one of
the default ansible search path.
See how my tasks/main.yml :
# cat roles/xyz/tasks/main.yml
---
# tasks file for xyz
- name: Extract /tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz into /tmp/sss
unarchive:
src: "{{ item.src_path }}"
dest: "{{ item.dest_path }}"
with_items: "{{ TAR }}"
#See the vars/main.yml
# cat roles/xyz/vars/main.yml
---
# vars file for xyz
TAR:
- { "src_path": "/tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz", "dest_path": "/tmp/sss/" }
# See the Ansible playbook
# cat /etc/asnible/site.yml
---
- hosts: all
roles:
- xyz
# ansible-playbook site.yml
TASK [xyz : Extract /tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz into /tmp/sss]
*******************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item={u'src_path': u'/tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz',
u'dest_path': u'/tmp/sss/'})
PLAY RECAP
*****************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
# ls /tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz
/tmp/xx/sample.tar.gz
# ls /tmp/sss/
