Ansible-playbook does not working with dictionary and with_items loop!

[Gittes]

ansible-playbook is not working with dictionary and a with_items loop!), here’s part of the role and dictionary:

global_groups:
  production_ansible:
    gid: 10001
  staging_ansible:
    gid: 20001
  grafana:
    gid: 10501
  prometheus:
    gid: 10502
  zookeeper:
    gid: 10503
  rundeck:
    gid: 10504
  nginx:
    gid: 10505
  gnupgserver:
    gid: 10506
  sequoia:
    gid: 10507

  - name: user management set global groups macOS
    tags:
      - user_mgmt
      - admin_accounts
    group:
      name:     "{{ item }}"
#      gid:      "{{ custom_groups[item].gid if custom_groups[item] is defined else global_groups[item].gid | mandatory }}"
      gid:      "{{ global_groups[item].gid | mandatory }}"
      state:    "{{ global_groups[item].state | default('present') }}"
#      gid:      "{{ item.gid | mandatory }}"
#      state:    "{{ item.state | default('present') }}"
    with_list: global_groups
    when:
      - (global_groups[item].state|default('present')) == 'present'
#      - item not in skip_groups

Here is the output:

Also, it works if I put it in a dedicated playbook:

---

- name: My First Play
  hosts: all
  tasks:
    - name: debug global_groups
      debug:
        var: global_groups
      tags:
        - test
    - name: debug user management set global groups macOS
      tags:
        - user_mgmt
        - admin_accounts
      debug:
        var: "{{ item }}"
      with_items: global_groups
      when:
        - (global_groups[item].state|default('present')) == 'present'
#        - item not in skip_groups

...
# vim:ft=ansible

[utoddl (Todd Lewis)]

It’s a bit of a stretch to say “it works” about the above tasks. First of all,

with_list: global_groups

Doesn’t do anything useful. with_list: expects to be given a list. You’ve given it a string which, by irrelevant coincidence, happens to be the name of a dict.

If you want to iterate over the items in that dict, I recommend using

loop: '{{ global_groups | dict2items  }}'

That will loop over your global_groups dict, making item look like this on respective iterations:

(item={'key': 'production_ansible', 'value': {'gid': 10001}})
(item={'key': 'staging_ansible', 'value': {'gid': 20001}})
(item={'key': 'grafana', 'value': {'gid': 10501}})
(item={'key': 'prometheus', 'value': {'gid': 10502}})
(item={'key': 'zookeeper', 'value': {'gid': 10503}})
(item={'key': 'rundeck', 'value': {'gid': 10504}})
(item={'key': 'nginx', 'value': {'gid': 10505}})
(item={'key': 'gnupgserver', 'value': {'gid': 10506}})
(item={'key': 'sequoia', 'value': {'gid': 10507}})

To get your task to work, you could try something like this:

    - name: User management set global groups macOS
      tags:
        - user_mgmt
        - admin_accounts
      ansible.builtin.group:
        name:  "{{ item.key }}"
        gid:   "{{ item.value.gid | mandatory }}"
        state: "{{ item.value.state | default('present') }}"
      loop: '{{ global_groups | dict2items  }}'
      when:
        - (item.value.state | default('present')) == 'present'

Working your custom_groups and skip_groups back in is left as an exercise for the reader.
Good luck!

[Gittes]

I tried putting:

loop: '{{ global_groups | dict2items  }}'

I get the same error too!

Why does it work on my playbook but not my role?

Should I remove the files in ~/.ansible/tmp ?

[utoddl (Todd Lewis)]

It doesn’t work on your playbook. It’s confusing because the result you get is the result you expect, but not for the reasons you think.

@Gittes

I get the same error too!

Which error is that? Please show a complete input and the actual error so we can help you understand what’s going wrong.

@Gittes

Should I remove the files in ~/.ansible/tmp ?

It won’t hurt, but they’ll probably just get re-created / replaced on subsequent runs. If that’s not happening, then there may be a configuration issue, or they may be left over from some error condition. I wouldn’t worry about cleaning up ~/.ansible/tmp until we get the errors with your playbook / tasks worked out.

[Gittes]

It’s still not working?

I even tried to get rid of:

gid:   "{{ item.value.gid | mandatory }}"

to be:

gid:   "{{ item.value.gid }}"

I still get the same error!

[utoddl (Todd Lewis)]

Which error is that? Please show a complete task and the actual error so we can help you understand what’s going wrong.

[flowerysong]

The only error you’ve shown us is:

The filter plugin 'ansible.builtin.mandatory' failed: Mandatory variable 'global_groups' not defined.

It is impossible to still get this error if you have removed the use of the mandatory filter. If you haven’t corrected the other issue (incorrect loop specification) you should get something more like:

object of type 'dict' has no attribute 'global_groups'

(Note that I only trimmed these errors of context for pedagogical reasons, you should continue to provide the full task output.)

Based on the particular syntax choices made it looks like you might be starting with a very legacy codebase and trying to update it to work with modern Ansible. The task as written would have last worked with…Ansible 2.1, I think? Passing bare variable names to with_ loops was deprecated in 2.0, and the deprecation cycle was shorter back then.

Even though it’s not the most idiomatic way to write it, there’s nothing inherently unworkable about the original structure, . To change it more minimally than @utoddl suggested, you can do:

  - name: user management set global groups macOS
    tags:
      - user_mgmt
      - admin_accounts
    group:
      name:     "{{ item }}"
      gid:      "{{ global_groups[item].gid }}"
      state:    "{{ global_groups[item].state | default('present') }}"
    loop: "{{ global_groups | list }}"
    when:
      - (global_groups[item].state|default('present')) == 'present'

if that makes the necessary changes clearer to you.

[utoddl (Todd Lewis)]

That’s an interesting idea. I didn’t realize (or had forgotten) you could pass a dict through the list filter and get the dict keys.

Experimenting, it looks like

"{{ global_groups | list }}"

and

"{{ global_groups.keys() }}"

are equivalent.

I used to really chafe at using dict2items, but being able to look at each key and the corresponding value has grown on me. Nice to have several ways to do things.

[Gittes]

I’m having more issues!

I filed a bug with ansible GitHub:

ansible-plabook as issues with dictionary in role but with dedicated playbook

I’m running on a MacMin with MacOS 15.4 and I ran Disk Utility on all volumes!

I also ran this for Homebrew to reinstall all ansible and all it’s dependent packages:

brew reinstall $(brew deps ansible) ansible

Details in the ansible GitHub issue! Please comment!

[utoddl (Todd Lewis)]

This is not a bug in any code provided by the Ansible project. This is straight up user error. I have commented to that effect in the bug report.

Folks here on the Ansible Forum are willing to help you, but it requires you to respond to messages asking for additional information.

Here’s the code you posted in that bug report. I’ve inserted comments containing the output from each of the two tasks.

There are two tasks here.

The first task works as you would expect. The var: parameter expects to be given a string — in this case, “global_groups” — which is the name of a variable. ansible.builtin.debug displays the value of the variable with that name.

The second tasks does not “work” - that is, it doesn’t loop over the elements of the global_groups dict.
It doesn’t “loop over” at all, it run exactly once, setting item to the string “global_groups”, and it displays the value of the variable named “item”, which is the value “global_groups”.

Of all the problems with these tasks (not using FQCN, using the deprecated with_items: rather than the recommended loop:, …), the one thing that is the fundamental error is using the bare string “global_groups” in

with_items: global_groups

That is never going to do what you want.

Fully functional code is posted up thread; I won’t repeat it here.

If you still run into “the same error”, please indicate which error you mean, and post the text of the tasks producing it. We’ll be happy to help you understand what isn’t working.

[flowerysong]

While you’re probably finding it frustrating that you keep trying different things and failing, please understand that it’s also frustrating for the people trying to help you when you don’t engage with the conversation. If things we’ve said are unclear or confusing, please ask for clarification here instead of opening yet another invalid bug report and wasting everyone’s time.

You have been given two complete examples of ways to fix your original code. Copy one of them in its entirety into your role, and run it. If it fails, show us the code you ran and the output in a new post. If it works, look at the differences between your original code and the working code to see what you got wrong.

[mcen1]

You are being given great, patient advice by two of the smartest users on the forum. You should listen to them and not create “bug” reports.

I was told it was a syntax error! I think it might be something else!

Any ideas to try?

}

This error is telling you that item doesn’t have a gid, so your expression gid: "{{ item.gid | mandatory }}" fails.

It’s also showing you what item does have, specifically key and value, and that item.value does contain a gid.

So your expression should be gid: "{{ item.value.gid | mandatory }}". (To be honest, I don’t see that “| mandatory” is gaining you anything; the task will fail with some sort of “undefined variable” message anyway.)

Also, name: "{{ item }}" isn’t going to do what you want. You need to say name: "{{ item.key }}".

Similar changes will be required in the following task, too.

This does not look like a syntax error:

@Gittes

[ERROR]: Task failed: Finalization of task args for 'ansible.builtin.group' failed: Error while resolving value for 'gid': The filter plugin 'ansible.builtin.mandatory' failed: Mandatory variable 'gid' not defined.

It looks like the ansible.builtin.group task is failing because a ID number for the group, gid, is not defined.

Okay, so you went with the dict2items option. Here is the code you were given for that:

    - name: User management set global groups macOS
      tags:
        - user_mgmt
        - admin_accounts
      ansible.builtin.group:
        name:  "{{ item.key }}"
        gid:   "{{ item.value.gid | mandatory }}"
        state: "{{ item.value.state | default('present') }}"
      loop: '{{ global_groups | dict2items  }}'
      when:
        - (item.value.state | default('present')) == 'present'

This is the code you tried:

- name: user management set global groups macOS
  tags:
    - user_mgmt
    - admin_accounts
  group:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    gid: "{{ item.gid | mandatory }}"
    state: "{{ item.state | default('present') }}"
  loop: "{{ global_groups | dict2items }}"
  when:
    - (global_groups[item].state|default('present')) == 'present'

You see how they’re different? This is why I said to “copy one of them in its entirety.” You only made one of the necessary changes, so it’s not surprising that it still produces an error.

[Gittes]

I added a this to the role:

- name: debug global_groups
  debug:
    var: test_global_groups

- name: user management set global groups macOS
  tags:
    - user_mgmt
    - admin_accounts
  group:
    name: "{{ item.key }}"
    gid: "{{ item.gid }}"
    state: "{{ item.state | default('present') }}"
  loop: "{{ test_global_groups | dict2items }}"
  when:
    - (test_global_groups[item].state|default('present')) == 'present'
    - item not in skip_groups

I tried to take out “| mandatory” and I added .key too but I don’t think it matters!

The debug still works and sees the gid or the items in the dictionary but the group module still says it can’t find it:

I even put in the playbook:

How else can I debug ansible-playbook?
