Perhaps I am doing this wrong, but it doesn't like my syntax. If I escape
the backslash ('\\w+.img') it tries to run but with a different error:
- name: Find virtual Disks
set_fact:
virt_disks: "{{ lookup('file','/var/ftp/vm.cfg') |
regex_findall('\w+.img') }}"
Result:
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
found unknown escape character
The error appears to have been in
'/etc/ansible/playbooks/one-offs/sanitize_vm.yml': line 21, column 75, but
may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
set_fact:
virt_disks: "{{ lookup('file','/var/ftp/vm.cfg') |
regex_findall('\w+.img') }}"
^
here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
If I escape the backslash:
TASK [Find virtual Disks]
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
[WARNING]: Unable to find '/var/ftp/vm.cfg' in expected paths (use -vvvvv
to see paths)
fatal: [ovmftp]: FAILED! => {"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while
running the lookup plugin 'file'. Error was a <class
'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: could not locate file in
lookup: /var/ftp/vm.cfg"}
I find the error strange on the last one, because I stat the file previous
to it and can see it fine.
