Unable to extract host facts

[Gordon Ross]

I’m running Ansible 1.4.4 which comes with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I’m getting weird results when trying to get host facts.

If I have:

- debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname]

I get the all the information I’d expect, including:

ok: [test.example.com] => {
"hostvars[inventory_hostname]": {
…
"ansible_eth0": {
"active": true,
"device": "eth0",
"ipv4": {
"address": “192.168.1.1",
"netmask": "255.255.255.0",
"network": “192.168.1.254"
},
….

but if I have:

- debug: var=hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_eth0’]

ok: [test.example.com] => {
"hostvars[inventory_hostname][ansible_eth0]": "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname][ansible_eth0] }}",
"item": "”
}

i.e. Nothing!

I also tried

- debug: msg={{hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_eth0’]}}

and got the same result.

I did a google and didn’t find anything promising.

Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks,

GTG

Sorry, that doesn’t work:

fatal: [test.example.com] => {'msg': "One or more undefined variables: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ansible_eth0'", 'failed': True}

ansible 1.4.4 is an old version of Ansible, if you are still having problems on the 1.8.X series, please let us know.
