parameterized role and with_dict loop

[ro...@pandastrike.com]

I have a role, route53-healthcheck, which execute a series of command: tasks using the aws cli (Ansible route53 module is for DNS records-only).

I have a dictionary of Application names and metadata in group_vars/all. I want am trying to loop over the dictionary using with_dict calling the roll each time with different parameters:

route53-healthchecks.yml

---

# create Route53 Health check and CloudWatch Alarm

- name: Route53 Health Checks for all Apps

  hosts: webservers[0]

  connection: local

  gather_facts: no

  roles:

    - { role: route53-healthcheck,

          app: '{{ item.key }}' ,

          app_domain: '{{ app_host }}',

          fqdn: '{{ item.key }}-{{ app_environment }}.{{ app_host }}',

        with_dict: apps }

I am getting an error that 'item' is undefined:

$ ansible-playbook -vvv -i staging route53-healthcheck.yml

PLAY [Route53 Health Checks for all Apps] *************************************

TASK: [route53-healthcheck | Route53 Caller Reference for this Health Check] ***

fatal: [web-1.us-east-1.example.com] => One or more undefined variables: 'item' is undefined

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************

           to retry, use: --limit @/home/ubuntu/route53-healthcheck.retry

web-1.us-east-1.example.com : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0

What is the proper way to loop through calling roles?

Thanks,

Robb

Roles cannot be presently used with iterators.  This is something the 'v2/' subtree may allow at a later date.

Until then, the solution is to apply the loop to each task inside the role that needs to be looped.
