I am building a list with output stored from a uri call:
- name: Get hostgroup info
uri:
url: "{{baseurl}}views/host-groups?$query=hostGroup.storageDeviceId%20eq%20'{{ui}}'%20and%20hostGroup.hostGroupName%20in%20[{{vmc02}}]"
method: get
validate_certs: no
headers:
Authorization: "Session {{login.json.token}}"
Accept: "application/json"
Content-Type: "application/json"
register: hostgroups
- name: create list of hostgroups ids
set_fact:
hostgroupnum_l: "{{hostgroupnum_l}} + ['{{item.hostGroup.hostGroupNumber}}']"
with_items: "{{hostgroups.json.data}}"But when the data is debuged it gives me this difference if i look at one item or multiple:
TASK [debug hostgroup list object] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": [
"10",
"11",
"12",
"13",

"16",
"9"
]
}
TASK [debug hostgroupnumber output] *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "u'10'"
}
And this error when the next uri call attempts to use it, notice, how at the end i puts the list in unicode format, and the url does not know how to interpret that.

Thoughts?

You can use the to_json filter to get "clean" json output.

That provides me this:
TASK [debug number on array after unuiqe] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "'\"10\"'"
}
how do i clean that up to only get the value 10 out of it?
The end result i am expecting is for the list to look like:
'10','11','15'

But you can create a comma separated string with the join filter.

So i am trying to pull the hostgroupnumber since i need to use the list with a uri query that will use a in statement. The api documentation shows that the the variable to search in the in statement, needs to look like: "'value1','value2','value3'"
Here is the set of tasks that i am using to generate the list variable:
---
- name: Set facts
set_fact:
hostgroup_l: []
hostgroupnum_l: []
- name: Get hostgroup info
uri:
# url: "{{baseurl}}views/host-groups?$fields=hostGroup.hostGroupNumber&$query=hostGroup.storageDeviceId%20eq%20'{{ui}}'%20and%20hostGroup.hostGroupName%20in%20[{{vmc02}}]"
url: "{{baseurl}}views/host-groups?$query=hostGroup.storageDeviceId%20eq%20'{{ui}}'%20and%20hostGroup.hostGroupName%20in%20[{{vmc02}}]"

with_items: "{{hostgroups.json.data}}"
- name: create list of hostgroups ids
set_fact:
hostgroupnum_l: "{{hostgroupnum_l}} + ['{{item.hostGroup.hostGroupNumber}}']"
with_items: "{{hostgroups.json.data}}"
- name: debug number on array
debug:

set_fact:

- name: debug hostgroup list object
debug:

It's hard to give a solution since you have not provided all the
information we need.
But you can create a comma separated string with the join filter.

After reading thru everything I think it boils down to this.

You have list on int's
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 9]
that you need to be a string looking like
'10','11','12','13','14','15','16','9'
And since it's going to be used in a url you probably need to url encode
it too.

So to get this to a string you can do this
- name: String
set_fact:
hostgrpnum_s: >-
{{ "'" ~ hostgroupnum_l | join("','") ~ "'" }}
Here I'm using muliline YAML so I avoid problem with qoutes since you
don't need qoutes at the start and end.
And you can use urlencode filter to get proper url format.

Thank you. I see what your doing there and why. That makes since to me.
The part i dont follow 100% is the string part. Would you mind breaking that down for me? I also notice when i put that in my task list that the coloars for the next task change, does that indicate a problem?
I also notice the string puts a space at the end, and if i create two test stings one without the space and one with, it works without but not with:
test1: "'10','11','12','13','14','15','16','9'"
test2: "'10','11','12','13','14','15','16','9' "TASK [String] ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [debug - string] *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "'10','11','12','13','14','15','16','9' "
}
I also tried to add a replace filter in a couple of different ways, but they all seem to have a quoting problem that i am not seeing:
- name: String
set_fact:
hostgrpnum_s: >-
{{ "'" ~ hostgroupnum_l | join("','") ~ "'" }}
- name: debug - string
debug:
msg: "{{hostgrpnum_s | replace(" ", "") }}"
The offending line appears to be:
debug:
msg: "{{hostgrpnum_s | replace(" ", "") }}"
^ here

Try this:

> with_items: "{{hostgroups.json.data}}"
- name: create list of hostgroups ids
set_fact:
[item.hostGroup.hostGroupNumber] }}"
loop: "{{ hostgroups.json.data }}"

I can try, hopefully is understandable.

The join filter take a list and join each element in the list with a
string.
So the list is joined by the string ','
The list
[10, 11, 12]
becomes with join("','")
10','11','12
"'" ~ "10','11','12" ~ "'"
That becomes
'10','11','12'
the quotes and multiline YAML, but there is no problem.
It looks like you are using vim, if you install this plugin it will
handle this without problem.

task.
You can turn on highlighting of trailing whitespace in vim so they are
more easily spotted.
