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: gi…

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 | manda…

Let’s take your latest “bug report” step by step, since you either refuse to read the previous explanations or are incapable of asking questions about the parts that confuse you. You were told to use: gid: "{{ item.value.gid }}" You instead used: gid: "{{ item.gid }}" then tried to claim that t…

TFW you’ve filed your seventeeth bug report for your invalid code that doesn’t work to suddenly start working and people keep asking you to read what they write [image]
