Get a value from a fact from type type

[Seth Daemen]

I have a fact hostUUid when I display it with the following debug command 

  - name: debug uuid
    debug:
      msg:
        - "{{ hostUUid | type_debug }}"      
       - "{{ hostUUid }}"

I get the following result:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": [
        "list",
        "[{u'id': u'7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac'}]"
    ]
}

How can i get only the '7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac' value.

I want to use that value in a body for a api request.

When I use this in the in the uri module as body 

body: '{"environmentUuid": "7261c5626862","hostUuid": {{ hostUUid }}"}'

I get following body with debug mode 

"body": "{\"environmentUuid\": \"7261c5626862\",\"hostUuid\": {u'id': u'7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac'}\"}",

but the hostUuid needs to be only the value

How can i solve that {{ hostUUid.id }} does also not work

It is the first element of the list, so you need to use {{ hostUUid[0] }}.

I already tried {{ hostUUid[0] }} gives also not the result I want.

that gives this in the debug:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": [
        "list",

        {
            "id": "7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac"
        }
    ]
}

the body now look like this:

"body": "{\"environmentUuid\": \"7261c5626862\",\"hostUuid\": {u'id': u'7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac'}\"}",

but is must be

"body": "{\"environmentUuid\": \"7261c5626862\",\"hostUuid\": \"7261c5626862-abafe49d9bac\'"}",

solved my issue.

{{ hostUUid[0] }}

is working. But I had to set:

body_format: json

in my uri

It is indeed a dict within a list, so please try hostUUid[0].id
