Re: [ansible-project] How to template tasks file?

[Matt Martz]

You cannot template a whole task file.

What you need is to put a with_indexed_items on each of those lineinfile tasks, as opposed to using a jinja for loop around them.

Hey all, I am trying to repeat several tasks depending on how many servers I have in a certain group. Here is the code:

{% for machine in groups['cluster_nodes'] %}

- lineinfile: dest={{domain_home}}/servers/soa_server{{ loop.index + 1 }}/security/boot.properties create=yes line="username={{wls_user}}"

- lineinfile: dest={{domain_home}}/servers/soa_server{{ loop.index + 1 }}/security/boot.properties create=yes line="password={{wls_pw}}"

- lineinfile: dest={{domain_home}}/servers/oim_server{{ loop.index + 1}}/security/boot.properties create=yes line="username={{wls_user}}"

- lineinfile: dest={{domain_home}}/servers/oim_server{{ loop.index + 1}}/security/boot.properties create=yes line="password={{wls_pw}}"

{% endfor %}

However, when I try to do this I get the following error:

ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, /.../main.yml

Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 171, column 2

{% for machine in groups['cluster_nodes'] %}

^

Not sure what I am doing wrong, as I thought every file in ansible gets put through the Jinja2 templating language..
