combining with_nested: + with_together:

Hi,

I've got 3 sets of data:

foo: [ A, B, C, D, ...]
bar: [ 1, 2 ]
tra: [ a, b ]

foo should be combined with bar and tra in a nested loop, but bar and
tra should loop together.

something like (not actually working):

- debug: msg="{{ item[0] }} {{ item[1][0] }} {{ item[1][1] }}
  with_netsted:
   - foo
   - item
   with_together:
    - bar
    - tra

Expected output:

A1a
A2b
B1a
B2b
C1a
C2b
...

How would I actually combine with_nested: and with_together?

thanks!

they are lookups, so you can do with_<lookup1>: lookup('lookup2 ....)

I'm sorry it is not entirely clear to me yet.

I didn't find something like this in the documentation at:
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_lookups.html
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_loops.html

Could you point me to the documentation or provide an example?

thanks!

Sorry, after reading [1] I figured I'm on the wrong list.
To be honest I was surprised that the user documentation [2] links to a
*-devel list for further help:

"
User Mailing List (points to http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-devel)
    Have a question? Stop by the google group!
"

I guess this should actually point to
http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project , no?

Now I'm off to the ansible-project list - sorry for the off-topic post.

example almost any documentation page has that link)

Nice catch. Looks like there's something busted in the template there -- thanks!
