I’m having some trouble getting the following code in my playbook to run:

- name: “copy executable MX scripts out to nodes”  
action: copy src=$item dest=/opt/mx-scripts mode=755  
with\_fileglob:
- $ENV(DEPLOY\_HOME)/conf/common/templates/stuff/scripts/\*.sh  
tags:
- configuration

I tried to use the lookup plugin to do this but it did not seem to help

- name: “copy executable MX scripts out to nodes”  
action: copy src=$item dest=/opt/mx-scripts mode=755  
with\_fileglob:
- {{ lookup(‘env’,‘DEPLOY\_HOME’) }}/conf/common/templates/stuff/scripts/\*.sh  
tags:
- configuration

I’m not really sure whether lookup plugin works in this manner in 1.0 since it appears not to be substituted for when I debug. Any suggestions how to work through this?

1.0 does not support {{ }} syntax, that was introduced in 1.2

with\_fileglob: $ENV(DEPLOY\_HOME’)/conf/common/templates/stuff/scripts/\*.sh

Yep, exactly.

Slight tweak, I think the old syntax (which should still work but is dis-favored in newer versions)

$ENV(DEPLOY\_HOME)

aka lose the trailing “'” just before the )

I highly recommend upgrading to 1.2.X as there have been a lot of fixes/improvements sense then.
