I need to search a string "TicketID" in .db files under a directory. If
found my playbook should fail.
Below is my playbook for the same, however I'm getting runtime error "using
with_items"
Output:
> TASK [Search for Number]
> *************************************************************************************************************
>
> fatal: [45.72.65.99]: FAILED! => {"msg": "obj must be a list of dicts or a
> nested dict"}
Below is my ansible playbook's task:
- name: find multiple .db files under a given location
find:
paths: "{{ BASEPATH }}"
patterns: "*.db"
recurse: yes
register: files_matched
- name: "Search for Number
command: "grep -i {{ TicketID }} {{ item.path }}"
register: command_result
failed_when: command_result.rc == 0
with_items:
- "{{ files_matched.files }}"
I tried using loop instead of with_items as below but that too did not work
- name: "Search for Number
command: "grep -i {{ TicketID }} {{ item.1.path }}"
register: command_result
failed_when: command_result.rc == 0
loop: "{{ files_matched.results | subelements('files') }}"
Output:
> TASK [Search for Number]
> *************************************************************************************************************
> fatal: [45.72.65.99]: FAILED! => {"msg": "obj must be a list of dicts or a
> nested dict"}
I also tried using json_query like below but I still get error:
- name: "Search for Number"
command: "grep -i {{ TicketID }} {{ item }}"
register: command_result
failed_when: command_result.rc == 0
loop: "{{ files_matched.files|json_query('[].path') }}"
Output:
> TASK [Search for Number]
> *************************************************************************************************************
> fatal: [45.72.65.99]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Invalid data passed to 'loop',
> it requires a list, got this instead: . Hint: If you passed a list/dict of
> just one element, try adding wantlist=True to your lookup invocation or use
> q/query instead of lookup."}
I would like to understand why is this playbook failing and how I can fix
it.
