I'd recommend that you use `dictsort` instead of `dict2items` It achieves the goal very similarly, but sorts by default, and would avoid the error you are getting.
The biggest difference is instead of having `item.key` and `item.value`, you have `item.0` and `item.1`. https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/templates/#jinja-filters.dictsort On Tue, Oct 19, 2021 at 12:29 PM lift...@gmail.com <lifte...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to sort a list when setting a fact in Ansible as follows: > > - name: Get installed packages > become: true > become_method: sudo > package_facts: > register: installed > > - name: Set package facts > set_fact: > packages: "{{ ansible_facts.packages|dict2items|sort }}" > > This works when I run it from the command line, but when I do this within > Ansible Tower, I get the following error: > > Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{ > ansible_facts.packages|dict2items|sort }}): '<' not supported between > instances of 'dict' and 'dict' > > I know this isn't a Tower list, but would anyone have any idea why this > would work in the Ansible CLI but not in Tower? > > Thanks, > Harry > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ansible Project" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to ansible-project+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/132882cc-f901-4ed7-b768-72f052b0645fn%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ansible-project/132882cc-f901-4ed7-b768-72f052b0645fn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- Matt Martz @sivel sivel.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
