I am trying to process a list of subfolders, but am having trouble
dereferencing the data
If I run the following playbook
---
- name: Get folders under c:\Users
hosts: ychtrn1d
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Determine which folders exist under Users
win_find:
paths: 'c:\Users\'
file_type: directory
register: folders
- debug:
msg: "{{ folders }}"
I get this (some data removed for brevity)
ok: [ychtrn1d] => {
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"files": [
{
"creationtime": 1415372291.3851476,
"filename": "administrator",
"size": 3009061740
},
{
"creationtime": 1247523608.929812,
"filename": "Public",
"size": 120599529
},
{
"creationtime": 1415371442.8504908,
"filename": "test",
"size": 70521
}
],
"matched": 3
}
}
I want to loop through the 3 filename values, so I change playlist to
---
- name: Get folders under c:\Users
hosts: ychtrn1d
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Determine which folders exist under Users
win_find:
paths: 'c:\Users\'
file_type: directory
register: folders
- debug:
msg: "{{ item }}"
loop: "{{ folders.files.filename }}"
This fails
fatal: [ychtrn1d]: FAILED! => {"msg": "'list object' has no attribute
'filename'"}
However, changing to
loop: "{{ folders.files }}"
does return data, just more than I need
I am familiar with perl arrays/hashes but not in ansible/yaml
How can I return only "filename" data?
