BUG? 'stdout_lines | to_nice_json' crashing Ansible server

Archives Ansible Project

I have a bash script on each server that gathers some information and then stores that info in the commands variable. If I write ‘commands.stdout | to_nice_json’ to a file, everything is fine. If I use ‘commands.stdout_lines | to_nice_json’ it immediately reboots my Ansible server. If I remove the ‘to_nice_json’ it doesn’t have an issue. Should I file a bug? or do you have any other theories?

ansible-2.6.1-1.el7.noarch

Playbook:

I’m guessing that the result of {{ commands.stdout_lines | to_nice_json }} is breaking out of the echo statement.

You probably want to make use of |quote filter. Such as shell: "echo {{ commands.stdout_lines | to_nice_json | quote }} >> /tmp/dba_commands.txt"

However, I’d recommend using the template module instead to write that out.

Thanks Matt. I tried the ‘| quote’ and it did not crash this time. I will look into the template module.

I couldn’t get it to write it with the template module… but I was able to write it fine with lineinfile

In your shell task you append to the file, but if replacing the file every time you run ansible-playbook is OK, this should work

   - name: Write results
     copy:
       content: '{{ commands.stdout_lines | to_nice_json }}'
       dest: /tmp/dba_commands.txt
     delegate_to: localhost
