[ansible-project] selectattr() returns everything when attribute is 'update'?

[Dick Visser]

Hi

I'm seeing some weird behaviour trying to use selectattr() on a list
of dicts, when the attribute name I am using is the literal string
'update'.
Anything else works fine.

Example playbook:


---

- name: Test playbook
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local

  vars:
    repos:
      - src: git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo1
        version: v1.0.1

      - src: git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo2
        version: v1.1.2

      - src: git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo3
        version: v1.9.2

      - src: git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo4
        version: v5.7
        update: something

      - src: git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo5
        version: v1.4
        update2: something


  tasks:
    - set_fact:
        myrepos1: "{{ repos | selectattr('update2', 'defined') | list }}"
        myrepos2: "{{ repos | selectattr('update', 'defined') | list }}"

    - debug: var=myrepos1
    - debug: var=myrepos2


The output of the debug tasks is:

TASK [debug] 
******************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "myrepos1": [
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo5",
            "update2": "something",
            "version": "v1.4"
        }
    ]
}

TASK [debug] 
******************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "myrepos2": [
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo1",
            "version": "v1.0.1"
        },
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo2",
            "version": "v1.1.2"
        },
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo3",
            "version": "v1.9.2"
        },
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo4",
            "update": "something",
            "version": "v5.7"
        },
        {
            "src": "git+ssh://g...@blah.com/repo5",
            "update2": "something",
            "version": "v1.4"
        }
    ]
}



Any clues as to what is going on here...?
