Hi Dick,
Thanks for the Advice. It works like charm.
I modified the code as below and it works as desired. Again Many thanks for
your valuable Suggestion
- name: list html files
delegate_to: localhost
find:
paths: /tmp/sanity
patterns: '*.html'
run_once: true
register: list_html_files
- debug: msg="{{list_html_files}}"
- name: email results
ignore_errors: true
run_once: true
mail:
host: "{{smtp_host}}"
port: 25
subject: "{{ inventory_file.split('/')[-1] }} "
body: Test
from: xxxx
to: "yyy"
attach: "{{ item.path }}"
charset: utf8
delegate_to: localhost
with_items: "{{ list_html_files.files }}"
