   - debug:
       msg: "User was {{ item.split('\t')[3] }}"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"

The above give me the below output:

"msg": "User was FrontEnd"
"msg": "User was BackEnd"

I now wish to set USER variable as user1 is returned value is FrontEnd else USER value should be user2.

I dont know how to do this but below is my failing playbook.

   - debug:
     vars:
        USER: "{{ 'user1' if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' else 'user2' }}"
        msg: "User is {{ USER }}"

     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"

Expected output is:

"msg": "User is user1"
"msg": "User is user2"

Can you please suggest ?

@Stefan. The information provided by me is complete.

The variable if not assigned a value defaults as "Hello World"

Ha - I never ran in that one. Alas, you need to resort to proper if else statements in order to get your
logic to work:

- debug:
msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}"
with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"

There are two issues that i see.

1. I do not know how-to assign a variable USER value based on condition in the loop

Thus, instead of printing msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}" i wish to print "{{ USER }}"

2.

msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}" always prints user2. I guess it is not able to match FrontEnd.

The issue could be with the if else statement or item.split('\t')[3] may have some space due to which the match fails.

Below is the current output for this playbook:

   - debug:
       msg: "User was {{ item.split('\t')[3] }}"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"




   - debug:
     vars:
       USER: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}"


       msg: "User is {{ USER }}"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"



   - debug:

       msg: "{% if item.split('\t')[3] == 'FrontEnd' %}user1{% else %}'user2'{% endif %}"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"

It's better to split this into two tasks, IMHO debug should just output the message.

- set_fact:
USER: ....
with_items: ...

- debug:
msg: "{{ USER }}"

I did this but for some reason is is not getting user1 ... it is still getting user2 as the value.

   - set_fact:
       USER:  "user1"
     when: item.split('\t')[3] == "FrontEnd"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"


   - set_fact:
       USER:  "user2"
     when: item.split('\t')[3] == "BackEnd"


     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"


   - debug:
       msg: "User has {{ USER }}"
     with_items: "{{ command_result.stdout_lines }}"

Did you take in account that the array index starts with zero, so item.split('\t')[3] addresses the fourth column in
your output?

Yes, If you look at my original post the very first post the same array item.split('\t')[3] very much prints FrontEnd and BackEnd text.

Your debug statement appears to not be indebted properly.

The error appears to be in '/app/axmw/Ansible/playbook/finacle_deployment/testinclude.yml.bkp': line 24, column 6, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
