hi all,

i’m new to ansible… i 'm having issues with looping with this set of data with with\_items

ok: [host1] =\> {“ansible\_facts”: {“foo”: “[u’app1 app2’, u’app1,app2’]”}}

ok: [host2] =\> {“ansible\_facts”: {“foo”: “[u’app1 app2’, u’app1 app2’]”}}

ok: [host3] =\> {“ansible\_facts”: {“foo”: “[u’app1 app2’]”}}

ok: [host4] =\> {“ansible\_facts”: {“foo”: “[u’app1 app2’]”}}

- name: make a list  
set\_fact: foo=“{{ foo\_result.results | map(attribute=‘ansible\_facts.foo\_item’) | list }}”

# - debug: var=foo

- name: test list with k v  
shell: echo {{ item.apphome }} \> /tmp/{{inventory\_hostname}}\_var.txt;cmd {{ item }} \> /tmp/{{inventory\_hostname}}\_result.txt  
with\_items:
- “{{ foo\_item }}”

# - debug: var=foo\_item
