Ansible 2.7 - what replace yum+with_lines'

Hi,

I update Ansible to 2.7.

Now when I run it I get deprecated warning.

I trying to install with yum the packages that list in the file yum_packages.txt

I have:

`

  • name: install Basic Packages to specific version

yum:

name: “{{item}}”

state: present

skip_broken: yes

with_lines: cat /etc/ansible/path/files/yum_packages.txt

`

I got an error:

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Invoking “yum” only once while using a loop via squash_actions is deprecated.

Instead of using a loop to supply multiple items and specifying name: {{item}}, please use `name:

u’cat /etc/ansible/path/files/yum_packages.txt’` and remove the loop. This

feature will be removed in version 2.11. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting

deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

I tried to rewrite it but I did not success.

How can I replace code so it will work with Ansible 2.7 with no deprecated warning?

Thanks.

check your ansible.cfg there’s an option to squash the loop/list in one line. Just remove that.

You can pretty much update it to be:

yum:
name: “{{ lookup(‘lines’, ‘cat /etc/ansible/path/files/yum_packages.txt’) }}”

The message indicating it looks a little misleading there. I’ll look to see if there is a way to improve it at all.
