iterating using with_list

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

I have a requirement to iterate over list of lists:

    panels:

      -

        - name: disk_used_pt

          iterate:

           - path

        - name: diskio_all

      -

        - name: system_load_all

        - name: process_all

I've tried with_items on that structure, but it flattens it to a simple list. After a bit of googling I found 'with_list' which works great (so I can iterate over the internal list using with_items), but that 'with_list' doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. Is this something that's deprecated? If so - what are the alternatives?

kind regards

Pshem

To my knowledge Ansible have never had with_list.

So it's probably something someone have made, so you would need to hunt
it down and install it if you would like to use it.

Hmm,

This is the thing I'm taking about: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/lookup/list.py

Looking at the history I can see that it was added by bcoca about 2 years ago. It doesn't look like it changed much over the years (the code is trivial). So, I suspect that despite lack of documentation it is supported after all.

kind regards
