ansible playbook with curl

[Shankar Bala]

Hi All

I am trying to run ansible playbook to create powerdns record .pdns.yml

- name: add dns record

    vars:
      pilot_dns: "{{ input_dns }}"

      pilot_dom: "{{ input_domain }}"

      arecord: "{{ input_hostname }}"

      iprecord: "{{ input_ip }}"

    command: curl -X PATCH --data '{"rrsets": [ {"name": "'" {{ arecord }} ".'", "type": "A", "ttl": 86400, "changetype": "REPLACE", "records": [ {"content": "'" {{ iprecord }} "'", "disabled": false } ] } ] }' -H "'X-API-Key: changeme'" 'http://"{{ pilot_pdns }}":8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/"{{ pilot_dom }}".' | jq .

    tags: add_pdns

I get syntax error when i run as "ansible-playbook pdns.yml --check"

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.

   The offending line appears to be:

      iprecord: "{{ input_ip }}"

    command: curl -X PATCH --data '{"rrsets": [ {"name": "'" {{ arecord }} ".'", "type": "A", "ttl": 86400, "changetype": "REPLACE", "records": [ {"content": "'" {{ iprecord }} "'", "disabled": false } ] } ] }' -H "'X-API-Key: changeme'" 'http://"{{ pilot_pdns }}":8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/"{{ pilot_dom }}".' | jq .

                                            ^ here

any help here ?

Why not just use the `uri` module?

The following should be equivalent:

- uri:

    method: PATCH

    url: "http://{{ pilot_pdns }}:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/{{ pilot_dom }}"

    body:

      rrsets:

        - name: "{{ arecord }}"

          type: A

          ttl: 86400

          changetype: REPLACE

          records:

            - content: "{{ iprecord }}"

              disabled: false

    body_format: json

    headers:

      'X-API-Key': changeme

    return_content: yes

  register: whatever

  tags:

    - add_pdns

  vars:

    pilot_dns: "{{ input_dns }}"

    pilot_dom: "{{ input_domain }}"

    arecord: "{{ input_hostname }}"

    iprecord: "{{ input_ip }}"
