Hi,

I've been made a orchistration tool by Ansible1.9, and trying to update Ansible to the 2.0version.

I found there are some syntax rules that were changed (maybe bugs?) in Ansbile2.0.

I have to use modules in playbook, which are written as bash scripts,

and there are some parameters that contain space in their arguments.

When I execute playbook in Ansbile1.9, result showed the argument like var="argument A".

While in Ansbile 2.0, it is now shown as var="'argument A'".

The argument will be added a pair of quotation marks inside the double quotation marks.

I'm wondering why the difference happened? Which of the two results should be right?

If this is a bug in Ansible2.0, can I expect that it will be fixed?

Here is the sample module. And results in both version of Ansible.

=========================================================================================

<< sample module >>

[root@ansible ansible]# cat library/hello.sh
#!/bin/bash
source ${1}
echo ${msg1} ${msg2} >&2
echo -n "{\"rc\": 0 ,\"changed\": true ,\"msg\": {\"msg1\": \"${msg1}\" ,\"msg2\": \"${msg2}\"}}"
exit 0
[root@ansible ansible]# cat hello.yml
#
# ansible loop test
#
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- hello.sh: msg1="hello_world" msg2="hello world"
register: results
- debug: var=results.msg
