Here is my requirement:
- I have a playbook where I add the dynamic host to group "desthosts" in [Play 1] - In [Play 2] desthosts group I append a set_fact variable "storerecords". - In [Play 3] I try to read set_fact "storerecords" of Play 2 however, I get undefined 'storerecords' variable error. Below is my playbook. --- - name: Play 1 hosts: localhost tasks: - add_host: name: "{{ item }}" group: desthosts with_items: - "{{ SourceHost.split(',') }}" - name: Play 2 hosts: desthosts tasks: - set_fact: storerec: "{{storerec | default('') + 'Hello ' + inventory_hostname + '\n'}}" with_fileglob: - "{{ playbook_dir }}/tmpfiles/*" - name: Play 3 hosts: localhost tasks: - local_action: lineinfile line="{{ hostvars['dest_nodes']['storerec'] }}" path="{{ playbook_dir }}/files/tricky.txt" create=yes Playbook run command: ansible-playbook test.yml -e SourceHost="10.9.9.56,10.9.9.63,10.9.9.33" Error running the playbook is: TASK [lineinfile] **************************************************************************************************************************************** fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: \"hostvars['desthosts']\" is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in '/app/test.yml': line 28, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n tasks:\n - local_action: lineinfile line=\"{{ hostvars['desthosts']['storerec'] }}\" path=\"{{ playbook_dir }}/files/tricky.txt\" create=yes\n ^ here\nWe could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with\nmissing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they\nstart a value. For instance:\n\n with_items:\n - {{ foo }}\n\nShould be written as:\n\n with_items:\n - \"{{ foo }}\"\n"} Can you please suggest how I can get the value of storerecords from desthost to Play 3? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
