Re: [ansible-devel] How to use dict keys as items?

[Matt Martz]

This is probably a better question for ansible-project since it isn't related to developing ansible.

However, to answer your question:

with_items: hosts.keys()

I would also suggest you pick a variable other than hosts, to prevent any naming collision with internal variables.

I have a dict:

hosts:

  web01:

    int_ip: 192.168.1.1

    ext_ip: 1.2.3.4

 web02:

   int_ip: 192.168.1.2

   ext_ip: 1.2.3.5

I am using a template that I supply items to with "with_items", and I reference the data as "item". If I use "with_dict", then the template has to be duplicated and "item" changed to "item.key". In this example I would like to get a list containing web01 and web02 from the dict hosts.

I would like to do something like:

  with_items: hosts.key

  when: item[:3] == 'web'

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you Matt! hosts.keys() is exactly what I was looking for. I've been using hosts as the dict name for almost a year with no known issues, but I'm going to follow your advice and rename it as soon as I get a chance, thanks for the suggestion.
