}

I want to extract all the groupId, artifactId, version, endpoint, and so on.

so far, I register the output from several lists into one dynamic variable “contexts”

- include\_vars: “{{ playbook\_dir }}/group\_vars/context\_{{ item }}”  
register: contexts  
with\_items:
- “{{ wildfly\_context }}”

# this produces the blob above

- debug:  
msg: “1 {{ contexts }}”

I want to loop over it, but I appear to have nested loops, and this is where I struggle - here the first loop over results.

- debug:  
msg: “4 {% for gav in contexts[‘results’] %}{{ gav.ansible\_facts }} {% endfor %}”

How can I loop over ansible\_facts’: {‘application\_gavdeploy\_list’ to get all my artifactId’s for example?
