facts from set_fact aren't working

[Dayton Jones]

I'm setting 2 facts from a custom filter, which appears to be working, but when I go to use those facts in the playbook they aren't there...

  set_fact:

    ilom_gw: "{{ ilom_ip | ilom_net(item.gateway,item.mask) }}"

    ilom_mask: "{{ ilom_ip | ilom_net(item.gateway,item.mask, return_value='mask') }}"

  with_items: iloms

here's the output of that task:

{

    "changed": false,

    "msg": "All items completed",

    "results": [

        {

            "_ansible_no_log": false,

            "ansible_facts": {

                "ilom_gw": "10.224.64.1",

                "ilom_mask": "255.255.248.0"

            },

as you can see both ilom_gw and ilom_mask are set here, but then:

  debug: var=ilom_gw

[mgmt_port:debug] ilom_gw

	2016-10-26 15:31:29+00:00 (0:01:05)

	Changed = False

	JSON        : {

    "_ansible_no_log": false,

    "_ansible_verbose_always": true,

    "changed": false, 

     "ilom_gw": false

}

  debug: var=ilom_mask

[mgmt_port:debug] ilom_mask

	2016-10-26 15:31:30+00:00 (0:01:06)

	Changed = False

	JSON        : {

    "_ansible_no_log": false,

    "_ansible_verbose_always": true,

    "changed": false,

    "ilom_mask": false

}

And I swear when I tested this yesterday it worked as expected, but then today it's broken... what am I missing? 

[Dayton Jones]

Ok...found why, but I'm unsure how to fix.  So iloms as defined in my group_vars is:

iloms:

  - gateway: 10.224.64.1

    mask: 255.255.248.0

  - gateway: 10.85.0.1

    mask: 255.255.254.0

  - gateway: 10.234.50.161

    mask: 255.255.255.224

if the ilom.gateway/ilom.mask pair is the last in list, then ilom_gw and ilom_mask get set and are usable.  If the pair is *not* last then they get set to false (because they did not match the filter)  how can I specify a "found first" and exit the loop when a match is made?

[Dayton Jones]

and got it working...

replaced the

    iloms:

     -gateway: xxxx

      mask: xxxxx

format with

    iloms: ['10.85.0.1/255.255.254.0','10.234.50.161/255.255.255.224','10.224.64.1/255.255.248.0']

where each element is the gw/mask pair and got rid of the "with_items"  the filter was modified to parse all the elements, check to see which set matched and return only the correct pairing

So, instead of looping through the list items, I pass them all at once and the filter does all the heavy lifting.
