digital_ocean module and host_vars

Hi All,

It looks like I’ve stumbled across a bug with the digital_ocean module.

I’ve been following the digital ocean tutorial here, but I want to parameterise as much as possible. I’m building a role, and this is the main tasks.yml:

`

  • hosts: digitalocean
    vars:

  • zonomi_api_key:

  • zonomi_url: http://zonomi.com/app/dns/dyndns.jsp

  • do_url:

  • do_domain:
    tasks:

  • name: Add droplet
    digital_ocean: >
    state=present
    command=droplet
    name={{ item.key }}
    size_id=512mb
    region_id=ams2
    image_id={{ item.value.image_id }}
    ssh_key_ids={{ my_ssh_key.ssh_key.id }}
    unique_name=yes
    with_dict: “{{ droplets_up }}”
    register: my_droplet

  • debug:
    msg: {{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }

`

The host_vars are elsewhere, but I don’t believe they’re important in this context - the droplet gets created as expected.

However, I get the following error about the “ip_address” var:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'id'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/my/path/digitalocean.yml': line 33, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n msg: Droplet details are {{ my_droplet }}\n - debug:\n ^ here\n"}

The official docs appear to suggest that this should work, and if I print debug output of “my_droplet” on its own, I get a dump of the variable with all its data (I won’t reprint it unless it’s required as it would take a while to go through and obfuscate any sensitive data). I would like the ability to pick out certain parts of the var (in this instance, I need the IP in order to publish it to my DNS server…

Thanks

1. You are missing the second closing curly bracket.

2. Does using this help?
- debug: var=my_droplet
- debug: var=my_droplet.droplet
- debug: var=my_droplet.droplet.ip_address

3. Sure you have not mixed up ip and id somewhere:
"The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'id'"

What's in "/my/path/digitalocean.yml': line 33, column 7"? Anything
that hits your eye?

It will also fail if you don’t quote the variable.

Use this:

`

  • debug:
    msg: “{{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }}”
    `

Or this:

`

  • debug: msg={{ my_droplet.droplet.ip_address }}
    `
