Export debug msg to a file

[Adelmo Silva]

Good Morning

I need to send to a text file a message that appears in debug msg after a check if a directory exists. Follow Playbook below. But it is giving error in the recording of the file.

This is my Playbook

hosts: teste

become: yes

become_user: root

become_method: sudo

gather_facts: yes

tasks:

* name: Verificando Diretórios

  stat:

  path: /etc/teste_path/

  register: path

* debug:

  msg: "Diretório Ok"

  when: path.stat.isdir is defined and path.stat.isdir

* debug:

  msg: "Diretório Não existe"

  when: path.stat.exists == False

* debug: var=path.stdout_lines

* name: Gravando Valores

  local_action: lineinfile path=/root/find_path.txt line={{path.stdout_lines}}; create=yes

And results with errors:

ASK [Gravando Valores] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

fatal: [10.0.10.117]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'stdout_lines'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/root/Ansible/Playbooks/find_path.yaml': line 24, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: Gravando Valores\n ^ here\n\nexception type: <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleUndefinedVariable'>\nexception: 'dict object' has no attribute 'stdout_lines'"}

to retry, use: --limit @/root/Ansible/Playbooks/find_path.retry

Thansk for your attention.

The stat module does not have a return key of stdout_lines.  For a list of data that is returned from the stat module please reference this page here.
