any idea why I keep getting this error with this pb?

2

dictionary list is

uuid_pools:

  • name_of_uuid_pool: “UUID Pool 1”
    uuid_prefix: “00000000-0000-0000”
    uuid_size: 100
    uuid_from: “0000-000000000001”

  • name_of_uuid_pool: “UUID Pool 2”
    uuid_prefix: “11111111-1111-1111”
    uuid_size: 50
    uuid_from: “1111-111111111101”

It says malformed json, so that’s pretty obvious.
Try running with -v to (hopefully) see what’s being posted as json and there should be your solution.

The dictionary loop is not working. But when I specify the parameters not in a dictionary and not in a loop it works.

6

Run that with -v, and then compare the invocation dict with the one above that fails.

This looks like another failed attempt.
Compare a failed attempt with a successful attempt using -v and look closely at the payload.

this is from the successful attempt without loop

This is again a failed attempt…

To summarise, a task is failing with an error about malformed JSON, if you run it in a loop. And it succeeds without a loop.
So, if you run both of them using -v, this will allow you to compare their invocation (to be precise, the api_body key).

You should compare that value between the failed and successful run.

i already posted this without the loop: please see below. I am not sure why the loop is not working.

this is from the successful attempt without loop

Try with -vv or with -vvv until you see the invocation structure
