- name: extract the packages
hosts: localhost,CCM
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Ensure the folder exists!
file:
path: /opt/mypack1
state: directory
mode: 0755
- name: Unpack/Unarchive the .zip file!
unarchive:
src: "{{ item }}"
dest: /opt/mypack1
remote_src: no
with_items:
- /etc/ansible/roles/IBM2/files/mypack1.zip
- /etc/ansible/roles/IBM2/files/mypack2.zip
error
_____
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an
undefined variable. The error was: 'item' is undefined\n\nThe error appears
to have been in '/etc/ansible/roles/IBM2/tasks/good/unarchive2.yml': line
12, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact
syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n mode:

fatal: [10.50.3.1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an
undefined variable. The error was: 'item' is undefined\n\nThe error appears

Note:- here i was trying to unzip my two .zip packages to 2 different
directory (like mypack1.zip to /opt/mypack1 and mypack2.zip to /opt/mypack2)
