Copy with_fileglob Regex doesn't work

Hi All

I searched for a solution but everything I found didn’t helped.
We catch up all pub.key files from servers when we connect and then we would like to deploy them to the correct enviroment.

Here the config:

  • name: copy all needed pub.key files from deployuser
    copy:
    src: “{{ item }}”
    dest: /tmp/
    with_fileglob:
  • /opt/ansible/playbooks/roles/tdInfra/files/ssh_public_keys/{{ tdInfraKey|upper }}

We have different enviroments, dev and prod. The Files have the hostname in the name with …PROD… or …DEV…
So I tryed to match them with |upper which works fine to bring those letters up.
When I do a:

  • debug: var=tdInfraKey

This is the outpu:

ok: [host.td.infra.sys] => {
“tdInfraKey”: [
“dev”
]
}

With the configuration I have posted on top the matching does not work and it find all files with a D in the first position.

user@DEV001.domain.local
user@DLOG051.domain.local

user@DEV401.domain.local

user@LOOP031.domain.local

I have no clue anymore where the issue could come from. So I would be very thankful if anybody could help me with an idea.

OS: CentOS7
Ansible Version: 2.4.2.0-2.el7

Thank you and kind regards,
Phillip

Your tdInfraKey is a list with one element, so to get the value you need to specify the first element.

{{ tdInfraKey.0|upper }}
