It is not the module, but the data passed into it, for some reason the
engine is taking it as a string, try adding |list to the expression:
name: "{{ fonts_packages|list }}"

Re: [ansible-project] Apt behaviour
Of course it has everything to do with the module, what else? The 2.4.4
does the correct thing and takes the list as it is: a list. The module
documentation also says it needs to be a list.
However, 2.5+ takes that list as a string for some reason and wraps it in a
list ending in that silly state of a list inside a list. That can't be
right.

I don't think this is related to the apt module, but to how the
variable ends up being loaded. It seems to end up as a string, but not
as a sting in JSON format (which would be converted to a list), but in
Python format.
Without knowing how exactly you end up with the variable in this format.

Re: [ansible-project] Apt behaviour
Given John’s statement, add *update_cache: yes”
- name: install additional fonts
apt:
name: "{{ fonts_packages }}"
state: present
update_cache: yes

Re: [ansible-project] Apt behaviour
Usually I tend to see this when the apt cache isn't current. I am sure
there are other reasons as well, but more than 80% of the time for me, that
usually fixes my issue.

[ansible-project] Apt behaviour
Hi all,
Anyone knows why is apt behaving differently here? I have this var
fonts_packages:
- ttf-wqy-zenhei
- fonts-takao-mincho
- fonts-indic
- ttf-wqy-microhei
and simple task:
- name: install additional fonts
apt:
name: "{{ fonts_packages }}"
state: present
passing the list to apt.
That works in Ansible 2.4.4 as expected:
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"name": [
"ttf-wqy-zenhei",
"fonts-takao-mincho",
"fonts-indic",
"ttf-wqy-microhei"
],
"only_upgrade": false,
"package": [
"ttf-wqy-zenhei",
"fonts-takao-mincho",
"fonts-indic",
"ttf-wqy-microhei"
],
...
But in 2.5+ fails because:
fatal: [hostname]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"name": "['ttf-wqy-zenhei', 'fonts-takao-mincho',
'fonts-indic', 'ttf-wqy-microhei']",
"only_upgrade": false,
"package": [
"['ttf-wqy-zenhei'",
" 'fonts-takao-mincho'",
" 'fonts-indic'",
" 'ttf-wqy-microhei']"
],
...
},
"msg": "No package(s) matching '['ttf-wqy-zenhei'' available"
}
I'm passing a list to apt "name" parameter as per the documentation.
Thanks
