I have this Ansible task:
- name: Build array of Templates
set_fact:
template:
- name: "{{item.name}}"
element1: "{{item.element1}}"
element2: "{{item.element2}}"
with_items: "{{list_of_objects}}"
I don’t know how to add the template object I build in one iteration to an array of templates every time I iterate.
At the end of the task iteration, I want to do something like this (python like):
output = output + [template]
The play below
- hosts: localhost
vars:
list_of_objects:
- name: A
element1: A1
element2: A2
- name: B
element1: B1
element2: B2
tasks:
- set_fact:
template: "{{ template|default([]) +
[{'name': item.name,
'element1': item.element1,
'element2': item.element2}] }}"
loop: "{{ list_of_objects }}"
- debug:
var: template
gives
template:
- element1: A1
element2: A2
name: A
- element1: B1
element2: B2
name: B
The tasks below
- copy:
content: |
{{ template|to_yaml }}
dest: /tmp/my_template.yaml
- copy:
content: |
{{ template|to_nice_json }}
dest: /tmp/my_template.json
give
$ cat /tmp/my_template.yaml
- {element1: A1, element2: A2, name: A}
- {element1: B1, element2: B2, name: B}
$ cat /tmp/my_template.json
[
{
"element1": "A1",
"element2": "A2",
"name": "A"
},
{
"element1": "B1",
"element2": "B2",
"name": "B"
}
]
