File lookup issue in 1.8.2

[Mathieu Guillaume]

I'm using a task similar to this to add keys to a remote user:

- authorized_key: user=bob key='{{lookup("file", item)}}'

  with_fileglob:

  - /some/absolute/path/id_*.pub

This worked fine up to (and including) 1.8.1

In 1.8.2, I'm getting: ERROR: Unexpected error in during lookup: 'item' is undefined

I did very simple (if contrived) test and this seems to work fine:


- copy: content={{lookup('file',item)}} dest=/tmp/{{item|basename}}
with_fileglob:
- files/*

Looks like some kind of parsing issue, if I use the full YAML syntax below it works, but not if I use key=...

Working:

- authorized_key:

    user: bob

    key: "{{lookup('file',item)}}"

  with_fileglob:

  - /some/absolute/path/id_*.pub

Not working:

- authorized_key: user=bob key='{{lookup("file", item)}}'

  with_fileglob:

  - /some/absolute/path/id_*.pub

Weird, it works for me in both formats.

Neither are working for me - I'm getting the same issue even when in yaml format.  If I use item.0 the error disappears (but of course the task fails because it is incorrect).

- authorized_key:

        user: someuser

        key: "{{lookup('file',item)}}"

  with_fileglob:

        - /tmp/keys/*

Matthieu,

I was able to use the pipe lookup to get around this:

- authorized_key: user=bob key='{{lookup("pipe", "cat /some/absolute/path/id_*.pub" )}}'

Aha  - one more piece. 

It works fine as a task but not as a post_task in a playbook.

This playbook fails:

- hosts: servers

  post_tasks:

     - name: Set the authorized key everywhere

       authorized_key: user=someuser key="{{lookup('file', item)}}"

       with_fileglob:

         - /tmp/keys/*

This one succeeds:

- hosts: servers

  tasks:

     - name: Set the authorized key everywhere

       authorized_key: user=someuser key="{{lookup('file', item)}}"

       with_fileglob:

         - /tmp/keys/*
