uri body call needs [] instead of {}

[Nicholas Britton]

I am working on some uri calls with netbackup and with swagger shows that it only works with [] but the uri modual is using {}.   Any thoughts or tricks to get that to format correctly?

For example i am sending a body uri body of:

  - name: Create MSDP Disk Pool

    uri:

      url: "{{baseurl}}storage/disk-pools"

      method: POST

      body_format: json

      status_code: 201

      headers:

        authorization: "{{login.json.token}}"

        content-type: application/vnd.netbackup+json;version=3.0

      body:

        data:

          type: diskPool

          attributes:

            name: server_dpm

            diskVolumes:

              [name: PureDiskVolume]

            maximumIoStreams:

              limitIoStreams: true

              streamsPerVolume: 75

          relationships:

            storageServers:

              data:

                type: storageServer

                id: 'PureDisk:server.domain'

      validate_certs: no

      return_content: yes

    register: dp_create

Which produces this:

            "body": {

                "data": {

                    "attributes": {

                        "diskVolumes": [

                            {

                                "name": "PureDiskVolume"

                            }

                        ],

                        "maximumIoStreams": {

                            "limitIoStreams": true,

                            "streamsPerVolume": 75

                        },

                        "name": "server_dpm"

                    },

                    "relationships": {

                        "storageServers": {

                            "data": {

                                "id": "PureDisk:server.domain",

                                "type": "storageServer"

                            }

                        }

                    },

                    "type": "diskPool"

                }

            },

While swagger produces it as this:

working:

{

  "data": {

    "type": "diskPool",

    "attributes": {

      "name": "server_dpm",

      "diskVolumes": [

        {

          "name": "PureDiskVolume"

        }

      ],

      

      "maximumIoStreams": {

        "limitIoStreams": true,

        "streamsPerVolume": 75

      }

      

    },

    "relationships": {

      "storageServers": {

        "data": [

          {

            "type": "storageServer",

            "id": "PureDisk:server.domain"

          }

        ]

      }

    }

  }

}

You’re sending something that doesn’t work, and you seem to know exactly what the problem is, and also what format _does_ work. So the solution is... send that?

Or am I missing something

The problem is I don't know how to make ansible send the right bracket. Testing from swagger I know what it expects.

Hello Nicholas,

try to use a list instead of a dict:

data:
- type: storageServer
id: 'PureDisk:server.domain'

Is it the - in front of type that makes it a list over a dict?

When i try that i get a syntax error.    

fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {

    "reason": "Syntax Error while loading YAML.\n  did not find expected '-' indicator\n\nThe error appears to be in '/home/nbritton/ansible/gts-core-storage-operations/netbackup/tasks/msdp.create.include.yml': line 78, column 17, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n                - type: storageServer\n                id: 'PureDisk:server'\n                ^ here\nThis one looks easy to fix. It seems that there is a value started\nwith a quote, and the YAML parser is expecting to see the line ended\nwith the same kind of quote. For instance:\n\n    when: \"ok\" in result.stdout\n\nCould be written as:\n\n   when: '\"ok\" in result.stdout'\n\nOr equivalently:\n\n   when: \"'ok' in result.stdout\"\n"

Literal style indicator of the block is missing "|"
https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2795688

Try:
body: |

instead of

Indentation is wrong. (Disregard my previous email.)

Okay I can try that. Looks like you added a . In front of each line but the last one that needs to be a list?  Did I see that correct?

[Nicholas Britton]

Thank everyone for the help.    Once i lined up the - correctly it worked.  That was a nice trick to learn.

          relationships:

            storageServers:

              data:

              - type: storageServer

                id: "PureDisk:{{mediaserver}}.{{domain}}"
