[Ansible 2.*] Problem with variables

[George Khan]

Hi there! I have some troubles with vars in ansible...

What i have:

[root@ansible ansible]# cat /etc/ansible/roles/preconf/tasks/main.yml 
- name: installing pkg
  apt: pkg=$item
  with_items:
    - htop
    - sudo
    - tcpdump
    - mc
    - wget
    - vim
    - facter

- name: Add users
#  user: name={{item.user}} comment={{item.comment}} uid={{item.uid}} password={{item.password}} shell='/bin/bash' groups='sudo'
  debug: msg={{item.user}} msg={{item.comment}} msg={{item.uid}} msg={{item.password}}
  with_items:
    - $adm_users
        
        
[root@ansible ansible]# cat /etc/ansible/roles/main/variables/main.yml
adm_users:
 - { user: 'user1', comment: 'user11', uid: '15139', password: '$gsdJDGASgdashdakshdg' }
 - { user: 'user2', comment: 'user22', uid: '15217', password: '$tERuJGEAgdfSAGDVaGV' }

What i do:

[root@ansible ansible]# time ansible-playbook -vvvv main.yml --ask-pass --ask-sudo-pass
Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
SSH password: 
SUDO password[defaults to SSH password]: 
1 plays in main.yml

What i'm doing wrong?

Many things in just one task.

first debug only takes 1 msg= or 1 var= argument, so instead of:

debug: msg={{item.user}} msg={{item.comment}} msg={{item.uid}}
msg={{item.password}}

should be :
debug: var=item

or:
debug: msg="{{item.user}}, {{item,comment}}, {{item.uid}} ..."
or:
debug: msg="{{[item,user, item.comment, item.uid,...]|join(',')}}"

Also "$vars" were removed a long time ago, it needs to not be:
with_items:
- $adm_users
but:
with_items: "{{adm_users}}"

Hi, Brian! Thank you for your answer!

In this case, i got "FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "ERROR! 'adm_users' is undefined"}". I declare my vars in /etc/ansible/roles/main/variables/main.yml , maybe i must declare variables somewhere else?

you can use 'vars' or 'defaults', but not 'variables:

/etc/ansible/roles/main/{vars,defaults}/main.yml
