Cron with_items hash + spaces

[BrianAI]

Another question folks.

When I try the following bit of code, it seems to choke:

 10 - name: set cron for any cron-able scripts
 11   cron: name={{ item.name }}  job={{ item.job }} state=present
 12   with_items:
 13         - { name: Gather stuff, job: do stuff }
 14         - { name: "Check Response Codes", job: "sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results" }

However, if I do the following, it works:

 10 - name: set cron for any cron-able scripts
 11   cron: name={{ item.name }}  job={{ item.job }} state=present
 12   with_items:
 13         - { name: Gather, job: do }
 14         - { name: "Check", job: "sleep" }

Basically, it seems the spaces are throwing things off.  I've tried with single quotes, double quotes, etc. etc.
Below, is the error:

 

failed: [server1] => (item={'job': 'do stuff', 'name': 'Gather stuff'}) => {"failed": true, "item": {"job": "do stuff", "name": "Gather stuff"}}
msg: this module requires key=value arguments (['name=Gather', 'stuff', 'job=do', 'stuff', 'state=present'])
failed: [server1] => (item={'job': 'sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results', 'name': 'Check Response Codes'}) => {"failed": true, "item": {"job": "sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results", "name": "Check Response Codes"}}
msg: this module requires key=value arguments (['name=Check', 'Response', 'Codes', 'job=sleep', '5;', '/etc/server1/scripts/check_files', '>', '/tmp/check_files_results', 'state=present'])

a lot closer!  i should have thought of / realized that.  Looks like something is still not happy:

  8 - name: set cron for any cron-able scripts
  9   cron: name= "{{ item.name }}"  job= "{{ item.job }}" state=present
 10   with_items:
 11         - { name: 'Check Response Codes', job: 'sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results' }
 12   tags:
 13        - server1.scripts

failed: [server1] => (item={'job': 'sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results', 'name': 'Check Response Codes'}) => {"failed": true, "item": {"job": "sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results", "name": "Check Response Codes"}}

msg: this module requires key=value arguments (['name=', 'Check Response Codes', 'job=', 'sleep 5; /etc/server1/scripts/check_files > /tmp/check_files_results', 'state=present', 'CHECKMODE=True'])

FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

so it seems the space after name= " was the problem.

The reason I put that space there is because the syntax highlighting in VIM completely got thrown off by having name="....but either way (even with the bad syntax highlighting), it still works properly now that i have name="

Thanks!!!! :)
