create file using ansible variable

[Pradeep Ghorpade]

Hello,

i am trying to create file which will be use to create partition in windows.

I am using variables in below format.

additional_disks:

- drive_letter: E

  mount_point: TMP1

  disk_size: 7

  label: DBInstall

  block_size: 4096k

  datastore: vsanDatastoreCMP001

- drive_letter: F

  mount_point: TMP2

  disk_size: 9

  label: DBInstall1

  block_size: 4096k

  datastore: vsanDatastoreCMP001

- drive_letter: G

  mount_point: TMP3

  disk_size: 10

  label: DBInstall2

  block_size: 4096k

  datastore: vsanDatastoreCMP001

I am using below code:

- name: Testing Iteration

  copy:

    dest: /tmp/testtemp

    content: |

      {% for var in additional_disks %}

      select disk {{ my_idx | int +2 }}

      create partition primary

      assign letter "{{ item.drive_letter }}"

      format fs=ntfs label={{ item.label }} quick

      {% endfor %}

  with_items:

    - "{{ additional_disks }}"

  loop_control:

    index_var: my_idx

    label: " "

  delegate_to: localhost

Gettin output:

select disk 4

create partition primary

assign letter "G"

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall2 quick

select disk 4

create partition primary

assign letter "G"

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall2 quick

select disk 4

create partition primary

assign letter "G"

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall2 quick

expected output:

select disk 2

create partition primary

assign letter E

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall quick

select disk 3

create partition primary

assign letter F

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall quick

select disk 4

create partition primary

assign letter G

format fs=ntfs label=DBInstall2 quick

Can you please help to get correct outpt.

Have you tried using loop instead of var_items?

loop instead of with_items, of course.
