win_service_info register

[jer...@gmail.com]

Hi

Trying to use win_service_info with a register.

While the register is filled with multiple entries, i want to make sure all these are started.

How to write the loop ?

  - name: Find all services that start with 'blabla'

    ansible.windows.win_service_info:

      name: blabla*

    register: service

#Print everything

  - name: Print service facts

    ansible.builtin.debug:

      var: service

#Print only the first one 

  - name: Print service facts

    ansible.builtin.debug:

      var: service.services[0].name

  - name: make sure service is started

    win_service:

      name: 'service.services[{{ item }}].name'

      state: started

    with_items: service.services.index ?

Thanks!

Just loop the services entry and then your item is item.name.

- win_service:

    name: '{{ item.name }}'

    state: started

  with_items: '{{ service.services }}'

This works because service.services is a list that contains a dictionary so you are looping each entry and then getting the name key in that dict.

HI Jordan,

I am wondering how I could modify the above code to only start when a service exist with out ignoring errors as an option.
