iterating over data

[Hank Beatty]

Hello,

Given the data below I would like to create a single task that will
print the url or the filename without having to specify the hardware
(PowerEdge_xxxxx) or the firmware (bios, idrac, etc.).

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Hank

Something like:

- name: Print firmfware info
debug: msg="item0 {{ item.0 }} item1 {{ item.1.url }}"
with_indexed_items: "{{firmware}}"

OR:

- name: Print firmfware info
debug: msg="item0 {{ item.0 }} item1 {{ item.1.url }}"
with_dict: "{{firmware}}"

You can write a small filter plugin that gives you the items of dicts (something that simply returns an `item.values()` or something like that). Then you could do:

vars:

    # Will create a list of inner dict values inside a list of parent dict's values

   - firmware_items: "{{ firmware.values() | map('get_dict_values') | list }}"

tasks:

   - debug: var=item.url

     with_flattened: firmware_items


Alternatively, I wrote a lookup plugin that allows you do chain lookups and make them iterate on each other. Then you can do this:

tasks:

   - debug: item.values.url

     with_recursive:

       - { name: dict, args: firmware }

       - { name: dict, args: "{{item.values}}" }

Lookup plugin is here: https://gist.github.com/hkariti/d07695b4b9c5a68d8c02

Hello Hagai,

This got me going. Thank you.

Is there a way to match a given model (given that I set the 'Model' var earlier in the playbook)? I need the firmware and that works perfectly but, I need to limit the firmware that goes to a certain model of server.

Thanks,
Hank

Something like:

- debug: var=Model

- debug: msg={{ item.key }}
  when: item.key == 'idrac'
  with_recursive:
   - { name: dict, args: firmware, "{{ Model }}" }
   - { name: dict, args: "{{item.value}}" }

Here is the output of the above:

Do you mean add conditions for each iteration? No, you cant do that currently. Shouldnt be hard, butnI dont have a lot of time to do it myself.

Yes, adding conditions for each iteration. Exactly.

I can get in there and see if I can modify it.

Are you thinking something like this... :

- debug: msg={{ item.key }}
  with_recursive:
   - { name: dict, args: firmware, conditional: Model }                # where Model was set at some past point
   - { name: dict, args: "{{item.value}}", conditional: 'idrac' }

Or something else.

Thanks,
Hank
