Hi all,
I am having problem with looping Blockinfile module. It seems as if the first loop doesn’t insert a new block into the target file. When I run the playbook the log shows that new block is inserted but it actually doesn’t exist. When I run the same playbook again, the block is inserted. I am wondering if this is a bug or I am using the Ansible incorrectly.
The code is:
- name: update zones on master nodes
blockinfile:
dest: /etc/icinga2/zones.conf
backup: yes
marker: “// {mark} configuration for {{ groupname }}”
block: |
{% for host in groups[groupname] %}
object Endpoint “{{ hostvars[host].ansible_fqdn }}” {
host = “{{ hostvars[host].ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}”
}
{% endfor %}
object Zone “{{ groupname }}” {
endpoints = [ {% for host in groups[groupname] -%} “{{ hostvars[host].ansible_fqdn }}” {%- if not loop.last %}, {% endif -%} {%- endfor %} ]
parent = “master”
}
insertafter: ‘satellite configuration’
delegate_to: “{{ item }}”
vars:
ansible_become_pass: “{{ hostvars[item].ansible_become_pass }}”
with_items:
- “{{ groups[‘icinga2-master’] }}”
when: inventory_hostname == groups[groupname][0]
notify: restart icinga2 on master
Does this mean to do like that? When I run with -vvv option, I can see the correct blocks in stdout but it actually is not written to the target file. Could I please get some advice regarding this issue? Thanks a lot.
