I'm using the below playbook to capture the vmware datacenter information,
which is working fine without any issues:
---
- hosts: localhost
vars_files: 1credentials.yml
tasks:
- name: Gather information about all datacenters
community.vmware.vmware_datacenter_info:
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
validate_certs: no
delegate_to: localhost
register: datacenter
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.name }}"
loop: "{{ datacenter.datacenter_info }}"
when:
- item.name is defined
- item.name == datacenter
below is the output:
PLAY [localhost]
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts]
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [Gather information about all datacenters]
************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [debug]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'Datacenter-Test', 'moid':
'datacenter-1247', 'config_status': 'gray', 'overall_status': 'gray'})
ok: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'opendc-rookie', 'moid': 'datacenter-2',
'config_status': 'gray', 'overall_status': 'gray'}) => {
"msg": "opendc-rookie"
}
PLAY RECAP
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
skipped=0
But when I try to use a variable for the datacenter value as below:
---
- hosts: localhost
vars_files: 1credentials.yml
vars:
datacenter: opendc-rookie
tasks:
- name: Gather information about all datacenters
community.vmware.vmware_datacenter_info:
hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
validate_certs: no
delegate_to: localhost
register: datacenter
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.name }}"
loop: "{{ datacenter.datacenter_info }}"
when:
- item.name is defined
- item.name == "datacenter"
It is skipping the debug task. Kindly suggest how can I incorporate the
variable value with the when condition having item. Below is the output
skipping the variable
PLAY [localhost]
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts]
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK [Gather information about all datacenters]
************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [debug]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'Datacenter-Test', 'moid':
'datacenter-1247', 'config_status': 'gray', 'overall_status': 'gray'})
skipping: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'opendc-rookie', 'moid':
'datacenter-2', 'config_status': 'gray', 'overall_status': 'gray'})
skipping: [localhost]
PLAY RECAP
