Register variables in tasks that use with_items?

[Johannes Kastl]

Hi all,

say I want to create a file for two users. I create a list containing
the users and create a task with a loop using with_items:

userlist:
- foo
- bar

To avoid trouble I want to check if the target folder exists and fail
if it does not.

How to get this working?

- name: "Check if folder exists"
stat: path="/home/{{item}}/some/path"
with_items: {{ userlist }}
register: check_for_path

- fail: msg="path does not exist"
when: check_for_path.stat.isdir is undefined
