I have written this play to run over a Cisco Router- then create a list of interfaces and the idea is to only apply a config to an interface based on the value or not of the descrption.
The play works fine up until the last point.
- block:
- name: write config to interface
with_indexed_items: " {{ my_list }} "
ios_config:
lines: description CHANGED
parents: GigabitEthernet{{ item.1 }}
provider: "{{ cli }}"
match: none
when: "' description ANSIBLE' in output.results[{{ item.0 }}].stdout_lines"
It just says conditional check failed
skipping: [CSR-02] => (item=(1, u'GigabitEthernet2')) => {
"changed": false,
"item": [
1,
"GigabitEthernet2"
],
"skip_reason": "Conditional check failed",
"skipped": true
All I want to do is for the interface that has a description of Ansible to perform a config change.
What am I doing wrong?

Don't use curly brackets in when:, they are implied.
If you do you can get all kind of strange behavior.
when: "' description ANSIBLE' in output.results[item.0].stdout_lines"

Thanks, tried that but it still skips the conditional check.

After checking the variable output I see that the

output.results[item.0].stdout_lines
contains a list of lists so you need to use
output.results[item.0].stdout_lines.0
