uri_module - json post

[Darvin Denmian]

Hi guys,

this is the first time I ever use the "uri_module" and I'm facing a problem that I just can't solve.. here it is

    - name: Sending Stash to Sensu - {{ item }}

      uri:

        url=http://10.0.0.8:4567/stashes

        method=POST

        body_format=json

        body="{"path": "silence/{{ item }}","content": {"reason": "Automatic Scale Down"},"expire": 28800}"

        HEADER_Content-Type="application/json;charset=utf-8"

        status_code=200

      with_items:

        - c3_imagens_name

      tags:

        - stash

When I try to execute this piece of code I got the following error:

ERROR: Syntax Error while loading YAML script, ec2_rotate_imagens.yml

Note: The error may actually appear before this position: line 76, column 22

        body_format=json

        body="{"path": "silence/{{ item }}","content": {"reason": "Automatic Scale Down"},"expire": 28800}"

                     ^

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with

missing quotes.  Always quote template expression brackets when they

start a value. For instance:

    with_items:

      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:

      - "{{ foo }}"

I'm trying to POST something like this (using curl):

/usr/bin/curl -XPOST 'http://10.0.0.8:4567/stashes' -d '{

       "path": "silence/ip-10-0-4-217",

       "content": {

           "reason": "Automatic Scale Down"

       },

       "expire": 28800

}'

Could you please guys give me some help?

Thanks in advance

Escape your double quotes

body="{\"path\": \"silence/{{ item }}\",\"content\": {\"reason\": \"Automatic Scale Down\"},\"expire\": 28800}"

Hi guys, 

I solved the issue with the following adjustments:

    - name: Sending Stash to Sensu - {{ item }}

      uri:

        url=http://10.0.0.8:4567/stashes

        method=POST

        body_format=json

        body='{"path":"silence/{{ item }}","content":{"reason":"Automatic Scale Down"},"expire":28800}'

        status_code=201

        HEADER_Content-Type="application/json"

      with_items: c3_imagens_name

      tags:

        - stash

Thanks !

I simply copied the 2.0 uir.py into my ./modules. It supports body_format=json which will convert the body dict into json as well as set the appropriate headers.

Indeed I have done this for several modules that are scheduled for 2.0 or are pending PRs. Ansible is incredibly flexible in this manner. Just need be sure to clean up the hacks when the modules are actually released.

that will work for most modules, but some do depend on features only
in the version they were merged, so this will work most of the time
but not 100%.
