Hey guys,
i’m having following variable object structure:
folders:
- {folder: ‘/’, owner: “owner1”, permission: ‘775’}
- {folder: ‘/tmp’, owner: “owner2”, permission: ‘777’}
- {folder: ‘/test’, owner: “owner3”, permission: ‘777’}
‘folders’ is the variable i pass down to another task file.
In that task-file, is it possible to extract a list of ‘owners’ out of the ‘folders’ variable ?
Something like
- name: Print owners
debug: “msg={{folders.folder}}”
?
best regards
Johannes
For jinja 2.6 you can do
{{ folders | join(', ', attribute='owner') }}
Is this what you are after?
There are some cool new mapping filters on the horizon with jinja 2.7,
but I'm not sure when they will be commonly avaliable.
