Ansible with_X から loop へ (with_items->loop でのリストの扱い注意)

そして with_X から loop へ (ラーミアに乗りたい)

Ansibleでリストを扱うのは非常に謎の挙動が多くはまりどころではありますが「それもまた慈悲」だと思ってついつい飛びつくのがAnsibleなんてものを使う人の性なのだと思っています。

Migrating from with_X to loop

loop 便利そうではありますが、リストの扱いが酷い、with_items使わせて下さいよ。そのうちリストサポートされそうなのがAnsibleですかね...

varsです

  vars:
    - foo: [f1, f2]
    - bar: [b1, b2]

おおう...

loop って

ということで

    - name: loop with a list within lists of list  ( {{ list | union(list) }} )
      debug: msg={{ item }}
      loop: "{{ foo | union(bar) }}"

    - name: loop with a list within lists of list  ( {{ list + list }} )
      debug: msg={{ item }}
      loop: "{{ foo + bar }}"
