Complex loop question.

Hi,

I’m looping over a set of repositories and storing them using ‘register’, for each of these repositories I’m listing the configuration directory and storing the results using register, so far so good.
Now I’m trying to compare the results against a list of configuration files that should exist within that repository, but I can’t seem to get that done.

What I’m trying to do:

  • name: check repos
    shell: ls -1 {{ path }}/{{ item.name }}/{{ config_dir }}
    register: found
    with_items: repositories

found, at this point contains ‘x’ repositories with ‘y’ files, y.stdout_lines contains the files that were found for ‘x’.

The “cleanup” code I’m trying to write does something like:

  • name: remove unmanaged
    file:
    path: …
    state: absent
    with_together:
  • repositories
  • found.results
  • item.1.stdout_lines <— these would be the actual file names
    when: item.2 not in configuration_files

Sadly, this doesn’t seem to work… how is one supposed to deal with this?

Thanks,
Nico

Hi,

You should use with_subelements like:

  • name: remove unmanaged
    file:
    path: …
    state: absent
    with_subelements:
  • found.results
  • stdout_lines
    when: item.1 not in configuration_files

Thanks.
