Hi All, I am trying to re-create the AWS Core infrastructure using ansible in another region. I am getting the following error The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘vpc\_endpoints’\n\nThe error appears to be in ‘/home/ec2-user/environment/aws-rxgt-b2b-platform/ansible/rxgt-ps-rxgtb2b-playbook.yaml’: line 646, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: create rxgt-ps-b2b-app-vpc-endpoints changeset\n ^ here\n"} I tried to debug this by creating a debug statement before this task and it prints out everything. But running this task gives the above error message. Could someone please help me identify the problem? Thanks Kishore ---

Can you provide snapshot of what your task looks like? ---

From your mail , I can see vpc\_endpoints is referenced from stack\_output\_result. SecurityGroupIds: “{{ **stack\_output\_result**.net\_stack\_output\_result.account\_config.0.account\_config.vpcs[stack\_output\_result.net\_stack\_output\_result.account\_config.1].app. **vpc\_endpoints**.security\_group\_ids|join(‘,’) }}” And the error you have pinged in the first mail is… The task includes an option with an undefined variable. **The error was: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘vpc\_endpoints’** \n\nThe error appears to be in ‘/home/ec2-user/environment/aws-rxgt-b2b-platform/ansible/rxgt-ps-rxgtb2b-playbook.yaml’: line 646, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: create rxgt-ps-b2b-app-vpc-endpoints changeset\n ^ here\n"} So, I would suggest you to add a Debug task prior to this one and print the variable stack\_output\_result and go through it to find whether the dict stack\_output\_result is having vpc\_endpoints or not. ---

Hi, Thanks for coming back. Yes, I added the debug task before this task and it is printing correctly. Now I managed to fix this issue by supplying the endpoint SG on the config file which has the endpoints which is what it is expecting. Thanks again.
