Hello Team,

I am trying to iteration register value and print that value using debug but I unable to achieve the result which I want to get it. Below is the register value in that I like to get value of “lifecycle_state” using debug. Could you please someone help me on this.

Playbook part:

  • debug: var=“{{ item }}”
    with_items: result_1.volume_attachments

Register result:

ok: [localhost] => (item=result_1.volume_attachments) => {
“ansible_loop_var”: “item”,
“item”: “result_1.volume_attachments”,
“result_1.volume_attachments”: [
{
“attachment_type”: “iscsi”,
“availability_domain”: “xxxxxxxxx”,
“chap_secret”: null,
“chap_username”: null,
“compartment_id”: “xxxxxxxxxxx”,
“device”: null,
“display_name”: “xxxxxxxxx”,
“id”: “xxxxxxxxxxx”,
“instance_id”: “xxxxxx”,
“ipv4”: “xxxxx”,
“iqn”: “xxxxxxxxxxxx”,
“is_pv_encryption_in_transit_enabled”: false,
“is_read_only”: false,
“lifecycle_state”: “ATTACHED”,
“port”: 3260,
“time_created”: “xxxxxxxx”,
“volume_id”: “xxxxxxxxxxx”
}
]
}

The first 2 lines of the debug output explain what's going on

     "ansible_loop_var": "item",
     "item": "result_1.volume_attachments",

The list 'result_1.volume_attachments' is not expanded in the 'with_items'
statement and is submitted as 'item' to debug. Then the list is expanded
var="{{ item }}".

To print the 'lifecycle_state' attribute of the items in the list try

    - debug:
        var: item.lifecycle_state
      loop: "{{ result_1.volume_attachments }}"

Notes:
* Use 'loop' instead of with_*
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html#migrating-from-with-x-to-loop
* Expand the the variable "{{ result_1.volume_attachments }}" in the 'loop'
  to iterate the items of the list
  https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#using-variables-with-jinja2
* In 'debug' the parameter 'var' is expanded by default
