digital_ocean module and host_vars

[Jerry Steele]

Hi All,

It looks like I've stumbled across a bug with the digital_ocean module.

I've been following the digital ocean tutorial here, but I want to parameterise as much as possible. I'm building a role, and this is the main tasks.yml:

- hosts: digitalocean
  vars:
    - zonomi_api_key: <my zonomi api key>
    - zonomi_url: http://zonomi.com/app/dns/dyndns.jsp
    - do_url: <URL of do_droplet>
    - do_domain: <my domain>
  tasks:

    - name: Add droplet
      digital_ocean: >
        state=present
        command=droplet
        name={{ item.key }}
        size_id=512mb
        region_id=ams2
        image_id={{ item.value.image_id }}
        ssh_key_ids={{ my_ssh_key.ssh_key.id }}
        unique_name=yes
      with_dict: "{{ droplets_up }}"
      register: my_droplet


    - debug:
        msg: {{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }

 The host_vars are elsewhere, but I don't believe they're important in this context - the droplet gets created as expected.

However, I get the following error about the "ip_address" var:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'id'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/my/path/digitalocean.yml': line 33, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n        msg: Droplet details are {{ my_droplet }}\n    - debug:\n      ^ here\n"}

The official docs appear to suggest that this should work, and if I print debug output of "my_droplet" on its own, I get a dump of the variable with all its data (I won't reprint it unless it's required as it would take a while to go through and obfuscate any sensitive data). I would like the ability to pick out certain parts of the var (in this instance, I need the IP in order to publish it to my DNS server..

Thanks

Jerry

1. You are missing the second closing curly bracket.

2. Does using this help?
- debug: var=my_droplet
- debug: var=my_droplet.droplet
- debug: var=my_droplet.droplet.ip_address

3. Sure you have not mixed up ip and id somewhere:

"The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'id'"

What's in "/my/path/digitalocean.yml': line 33, column 7"? Anything
that hits your eye?

It will also fail if you don't quote the variable.

Use this:

- debug:
    msg: "{{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }}"

Or this:

- debug: msg={{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }}
