set_fact

[coach rhca]

Hi,

I am trying to create a role in which i have variable file ( main.yml) under vars folder containing

---

 group1:

    cid: t1234

    env: uat

    status: active

and in the tasks (main.yml ) i have

---
- name: setting values
  set_fact:
    cid: "{{item.cid}}"
    env : "{{item.env}}"
  with_items: "{{ group1}}"

  ****other lines*********

but when i run the ansible-playbook --syntax-check for task file i get the error

 #ansible-playbook -syntax-check tasks/main.yml

ERROR! 'with_items' is not a valid attribute for a Play

The offending line appears to be:

---
- name: setting values
  ^ here

Could you please let know where we are going wrong ,also if we can use set_fact with with_items or with_dict.

ansible-playbook --syntax-check can only check syntax on playbooks, not task files.

If you have a playbook that include the role it will check the syntax on the role.

with_items accepts a list. I don't understand the purpose of using with_items here. You can directly set  cid as {{ group1.cid }} and env as {{ group1.env }}
