Copy with_fileglob Regex doesn't work

[Phillip]

Hi All

I searched for a solution but everything I found didn't helped.

We catch up all pub.key files from servers when we connect and then we would like to deploy them to the correct enviroment.

Here the config:

- name: copy all needed pub.key files from deployuser

  copy:

   src: "{{ item }}"

   dest: /tmp/

  with_fileglob:

   - /opt/ansible/playbooks/roles/tdInfra/files/ssh_public_keys/*{{ tdInfraKey|upper }}*

We have different enviroments, dev and prod. The Files have the hostname in the name with ...PROD... or ...DEV...

So I tryed to match them with |upper which works fine to bring those letters up.

When I do a:

- debug: var=tdInfraKey

This is the outpu: 

ok: [host.td.infra.sys] => {

    "tdInfraKey": [

        "dev"

    ]

}

With the configuration I have posted on top the matching does not work and it find all files with a D in the first position.

us...@DEV001.domain.local

us...@DLOG051.domain.local

us...@DEV401.domain.local

us...@LOOP031.domain.local

I have no clue anymore where the issue could come from. So I would be very thankful if anybody could help me with an idea.

OS: CentOS7

Ansible Version: 2.4.2.0-2.el7

Thank you and kind regards,

Phillip

Your tdInfraKey is a list with one element, so to get the value you need to specify the first element.

{{ tdInfraKey.0|upper }}
