Blockinfile first loop is not written

[rcst.e...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am having problem with looping Blockinfile module. It seems as if the first loop doesn't insert a new block into the target file. When I run the playbook the log shows that new block is inserted but it actually doesn't exist. When I run the same playbook again, the block is inserted. I am wondering if this is a bug or I am using the Ansible incorrectly.

The code is:

- name: update zones on master nodes

  blockinfile:

    dest: /etc/icinga2/zones.conf

    backup: yes

    marker: "// {mark} configuration for {{ groupname }}"

    block: |

      {% for host in groups[groupname] %}

      object Endpoint "{{ hostvars[host].ansible_fqdn }}" {

        host = "{{ hostvars[host].ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}"

      }

      {% endfor %}

      object Zone "{{ groupname }}" {

        endpoints = [ {% for host in groups[groupname] -%} "{{ hostvars[host].ansible_fqdn }}" {%- if not loop.last %}, {% endif -%} {%- endfor %} ]

        parent = "master"

      }

    insertafter: 'satellite configuration'

  delegate_to: "{{ item }}"

  vars:

    ansible_become_pass: "{{ hostvars[item].ansible_become_pass }}"

  with_items:

    - "{{ groups['icinga2-master'] }}"

  when: inventory_hostname == groups[groupname][0]

  notify: restart icinga2 on master

Does this mean to do like that? When I run with -vvv option, I can see the correct blocks in stdout but it actually is not written to the target file. Could I please get some advice regarding this issue? Thanks a lot.
