Thanks for pointing as i did notice that , and I have corrected the three
left braces on "exec_date".
Second, mustaches (i.e. "{{" … "}}") never nest << Yes , I tried earlier
that and even now after reverting back , still the same issue ..
Execution error for the play below.
fatal: [server1 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an
option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no
attribute
u'/home/user1/ansible/patching/logs/2022-11-10/server1-compare-2022-11-10.txt'\n\nThe
error appears to be in
'/home/unixops/ansible/linux_patching/compare_sanity.yml': line 7, column
3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax
problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: create compare
file using precheck and postcheck sanity checks\n ^ here\n"}
