There are two issues that i see.
1. I do not know how-to assign a variable USER value based on condition in
the loop
Thus, instead of printing msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] ==
'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}" i wish to print "{{ USER
}}"
2.
msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else
%}'user2'{% endif %}" always prints user2. I guess it is not able to match
FrontEnd.
The issue could be with the if else statement or item.split('\t')[3] may
have some space due to which the match fails.
Below is the current output for this playbook:
- debug:
msg: "User was {{ item.split('\t')[3] }}"
with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"
- debug:
vars:
USER: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else
%}'user2'{% endif %}"
msg: "User is {{ USER }}"
- debug:
msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else
%}'user2'{% endif %}"
Output:
