Thank you for the fast response,
So I added the following at the end of the .yml file, but I guess I do not
know the correct syntax, because I get an error.
#added from suggestion
- name: Sending an email about it
mail:
body: |
Deleted some files - {% for f in files_to_delete.files %}f, {% endfor
%}
subject: Deleted files overview
host: smtp.gmail.com
port: 587
username: [email protected]
password: my_very_secure_password
to: my_private_username@my_private_domain
===
The error is as follows:
ERROR! We were unable to read either as JSON nor YAML, these are the errors
we got from each:
JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
Syntax Error while loading YAML.
could not find expected ':'
The error appears to be in '/root/ansible_playbooks/remove_distfiles.yml':
line 21, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
Deleted some files - {% for f in files_to_delete.files %}f, {% endfor
%}
subject: Deleted files overview
^ here
