Formatting the dict items with debug

[Veera]

Hi,

I have the below output  from my playbook using 

- debug:

        msg: "{{ result.stdout }}"

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": {
        "access_token": "xxxxxxxxxx",
        "expires_in": 43200,
"token_type": "xxxxxx"
    }
}

 and  when I tried to filter the access token alone  , with map   by

"{{ result.stdout | map('extract', access_token) }}" ., it errors as below

The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'access_token' is  undefined\n\n 

and  when I tried to filter the access token alone  , with map   by

 msg: "{{ result.stdout | map(attribute='access_token') }}" ., it errors as below

What I am missing here  to get the desired output  here?

[Dick Visser]

What is your desired output then??

I need only the output or the value of the below(trying to set_fact the access_token)

access_token": "xxxxxxxxxx"

[Dick Visser]

Try piping it through from_json first

Is there any reason you can't just use result.stdout.access_token?

$ cat debug-token.yml

- name: debug vars
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no

  vars:
    result:
      stdout:
        access_token: xxxxxxxxxx
        expires_in: 4320
        token_type: yyyyyyyyyy

  tasks:
    - name: debug the result
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        var: result

    - name: extract the token
      ansible.builtin.debug:
        msg: "{{ result.stdout.access_token }}"

$ ansible-playbook debug-token.yml

PLAY [debug vars] **********************************************************************************************************

TASK [debug the result] ****************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "result": {
        "stdout": {
            "access_token": "xxxxxxxxxx",
            "expires_in": 4320,
            "token_type": "yyyyyyyyyy"
        }
    }
}

TASK [extract the token] ***************************************************************************************************

when I try with
 - debug:
       msg: "{{ result }}"

the output is 

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": {

        "changed": true,
        "cmd": "curl -X POST 'https://xxxxxx.com/auth/login' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @.mycred.json",
        -- trimmed lines ----
        "rc": 0,
       -- trimmed lines ----
        "stdout": "{\"access_token\":\"XXXXX\",\"token_type\":\"Bearer\",\"expires_in\":86400}",
        "stdout_lines": [
            "{\"access_token\":\"XXXXX\",\"token_type\":\"Bearer\",\"expires_in\":86400}"
        ]
    }
}


The output for the
  - debug:
      msg: "{{ result.stdout |from_json  }}"

is

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": {

        "access_token": "XXXXXX",
        "expires_in": 86400,
        "token_type": "Bearer"
    }
}



when I use  the
 - debug:
     msg: "{{ result.stdout.access_token }}"

the error is

TASK [debug] **************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'ansible.utils.unsafe_proxy.AnsibleUnsafeText object' has no attribute 'access_token'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/home/user/check.yml': line 32, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n    - debug:\n      ^ here\n"}

[Dick Visser]

Yes, so you should combine them like:

  - debug:
      msg: "{{ (result.stdout|from_json).access_token }}"

It worked and its my miss again to combine it ..  :)

For example, given the file

shell> cat /tmp/test.json
{

"access_token": "xxxxxxxxxx",
"expires_in": 43200,
"token_type": "xxxxxx"
}

The value of *result.stdout* is *AnsibleUnsafeText*. What you see
depends on the callback. The below play

shell> cat pb.yml
- hosts: all
tasks:
- command: cat /tmp/test.json
register: result
- debug:
var: result.stdout

gives JSON with the default callback

shell> ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=default ansible-playbook pb.yml
...
ok: [localhost] => {
"result.stdout": {

"access_token": "xxxxxxxxxx",
"expires_in": 43200,
"token_type": "xxxxxx"
}
}

The same task gives YAML with the yaml callback

shell> ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK=yaml ansible-playbook pb2.yml
...
ok: [localhost] =>
result.stdout:
access_token: xxxxxxxxxx
expires_in: 43200
token_type: xxxxxx

You can test the type of the attribute *stdout*

- debug:
var: result.stdout|type_debug

gives

result.stdout|type_debug: AnsibleUnsafeText

> filter the access token alone

Convert the text to dictionary and get the *access_token* as well.
It's up to you where you put the vars

vars:

test_data: "{{ result.stdout|from_json }}"
access_token: "{{ test_data.access_token }}"

Example of a complete playbook for testing

shell> cat pb.yml
- hosts: all

vars:

test_data: "{{ result.stdout|from_json }}"
access_token: "{{ test_data.access_token }}"

tasks:

- command: cat /tmp/test.json
register: result
- debug:
var: result.stdout
- debug:
var: result.stdout|type_debug
- debug:
var: test_data|type_debug
- debug:
var: test_data
- debug:
var: access_token
