dict in dict access value in with_item

[Pierre Mavro]

Hi,

I've got a dict in dict in a var file. When debuging this var, it looks like this:

    "var": {
        "nm_java_apps_params": {
            "nm-core": {
                "dest_folder": '/tmp/test'
                "port": 9487,
                "start_options": " -Xmx16G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication",
                "version": "latest"
            },
            "nm-staticmaps": {
                "dest_folder": '/tmp/test'
                "port": 9462,
                "start_options": "",
                "war_name": "latest.war"
            }
        }
    }

I would like to be able to use those vars in a role with a with_item statement. Here is what it looks like:

- name: create operation folder
  file: path="{{item}}" owner=user mode=0755 state=directory
  with_items:
    - nm_java_apps_params["{{another_var_here}}"]['dest_folder']

But I can't get it correctly resolved. Here is what I got:

TASK: [nm.java-apps | create operation folder] ********************************

changed: [x.x.x.x] => (item=nm_java_apps_params["my_var"]['dest_folder'])

In fact it creates a folder named: "nm_java_apps_params["my_var"]['dest_folder']", which is of course what I'm not really expecting. I thought having '/tmp/test' instead.

Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem ?

Thanks

I think you need 'with_nested' here?
