Good morning,
I'm getting the following Error when running my playbook:
TASK [patch_rhel : Install Red Hat Security Advisory (RHSA)] *******************
fatal: [rhel-t0.hrz.uni-bielefeld.de]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "{{ 2016_1_Set }}: template error while templating string: unexpected char u'_' at 7. String: {{ 2016_1_Set }}"}
I would be very happy if someone could help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong here.
Here are some information about my environment:
[2016.10.11 09:06:25] /data/ansible
root@ansible-pctrl01>cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo)
[2016.10.11 09:07:57] /data/ansible
root@ansible-pctrl01>uname -r
3.10.0-327.36.1.el7.x86_64
[2016.10.11 09:08:03] /data/ansible
root@ansible-pctrl01>ansible --version
ansible 2.1.1.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
The playbook I'm trying to run:
root@ansible-pctrl01>cat patch_rhel.yml

- hosts: all

Here is the directory structure of my role followed by the contents of the tasks and vars main.yml:

#
rhsa_to_install: "{{ 2016_10_Set }}"
Things I tried so far were to remove the '_' but then I got the same error message complaining with the next character in line. Removing the character right before the one mentioned in the error I'm running into the same error as well.
To get my playbook up and running I changed
roles/patch_rhel/vars/mail.yml to:
cat roles/patch_rhel/vars/main.yml

2016_09_27: RHSA-2016:1940
2016_09_28: RHSA-2016:1944

#
#2016_10_Set: "{{ 2016_09_27 }},{{ 2016_09_28 }},{{ 2016_09_30 }}"
#
#rhsa_to_install: "{{ 2016_10_Set }}"
rhsa_to_install: RHSA-2016:1940,RHSA-2016:1944,RHEA-2016:1982
Now my playbook runs without any failures. But I like to use the first version to be more flexible in applying my advisory.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and support on this. Looking forwared to reading from you.
Regards,
Joerg
