Using when conditional with set_facts and with_items

[Jason Malobicky]

Hello,

Using ansible v1.9.4, I am having an issue using set_facts if combining with_items and when conditional. I am tackling a new use case for our environment and have not tested with this any other version, since 1.9.4 is the production version.

When 'when' is not used, the 'all_files' fact lists the basename properly.

---

- hosts: 127.0.0.1

  connection: local

  gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - set_fact:

        files_fact: "{{ item | basename }}"

      with_items: files

#      when: "{{ item | search('^/tmp/foo.*') }}"

      register: files_result

    - debug:

        msg: "{{ files_result }}"

    - set_fact:

        all_files: "{{ files_result.results | map(attribute='ansible_facts.files_fact') | list }}"

  vars:

    files:

      - /tmp

      - /tmp/foo1

      - /tmp/foo2

      - /tmp/bar1

TASK: [set_fact ] ************************************************************* 

ok: [127.0.0.1] => {"ansible_facts": {"all_files": ["tmp", "foo1", "foo2", "bar1"]}}

When the 'when' is used to match the search string, for values that are 'skipped' due positive match, the files_result.results contains for the matching items

{

    "changed": false, 

    "skipped": true

}

Thus causing an error since the results list does not contain 'ansible_facts'

TASK: [set_fact ] ************************************************************* 

fatal: [127.0.0.1] => One or more undefined variables: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ansible_facts'

The {{ files }} variable is dynamic in my use case but I have been testing with static values as listed.

Thanks

Jason
