Nested loop in template

[David Goodall]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an Apache vhost config file using a legacy yaml file *that I can't change*.

I'm nearly there, but the nested loop in the template doesn't work as expected.

Here's the yaml:

sites:

  site1.com:

    vhosts:

      - vhost1.com

      - vhost2.com

      - vhost3.com

    other1: blah

    other2: blah

etc

etc

  site50.com:

    vhosts:

      - vhost51.com

      - vhost52.com

     - vhost53.com

    other1: blah

    other2: blah

Here's my play:

- name: Populate vhost config

  template: src=httpd.j2 dest=/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.conf

  with_dict: "{{ sites }}"

Here's my template:

<VirtualHost *>

{% for site in sites %}

    ServerName {{ site }}

    {% for vhost in item.value.vhosts %}

    ServerAlias {{ vhost }}

    {% endfor %}

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/{{ site }}

        <Directory /var/www/html/{{ site }}

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

{% endfor %}

</Virtualhost>

Expected result:

<VirtualHost *>

    ServerName site1.com

        ServerAlias vhost1.com

        ServerAlias vhost2.com

        ServerAlias vhost3.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com

        <Directory /var/www/html/site1.com

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

etc

etc

    ServerName site50.com

        ServerAlias vhost51.com

        ServerAlias vhost52.com

        ServerAlias vhost53.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site50.com

        <Directory /var/www/html/site50.com

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

etc.

etc.

Actual result:

<VirtualHost *>

    ServerName site1.com

        ServerAlias vhost51.com

        ServerAlias vhost52.com

        ServerAlias vhost53.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site1.com

        <Directory /var/www/html/site1.com

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

etc

etc

    ServerName site50.com

        ServerAlias vhost51.com

        ServerAlias vhost52.com

        ServerAlias vhost53.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/site50.com

        <Directory /var/www/html/site50.com

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

etc.

etc.

Solved it - had to use "key,value" - here is the revised template:

<VirtualHost *>

{% for site,value in sites.iteritems() %}

    ServerName {{ site }}

    {% for vhost in value.vhosts %}

    ServerAlias {{ vhost }}

    {% endfor %}

        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/{{ site }}

        <Directory /var/www/html/{{ site }}

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from All

        </Directory>

{% endfor %}

</Virtualhost>

iteritems() is there to get around the "too many values to unpack" problem.
