Hi,

i am trying to add multiple sudoers line with template.

so, i am passing sudoers=abc,def within jenkins and use -e (extended vars) while running playbook

in template:

{% for item in sudoers %}  
{{ item }} ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
{% endfor %}

yml files looks like :

- name: sudoers file  
template:  
src: /templates/app.j2  
dest: /etc/sudoers.d/app  
owner: root  
group: root  
mode: 0440  
with\_items: ‘{{ sudoers }}’

Out put is :

a ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
b ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
c ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
, ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
d ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
e ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
f ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

i was expecting :  
abc (ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL  
def (ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

any ideas ?

Your ‘sudoer’ is a string, you want the with\_items to iterate over a list. Try this:

with\_items: “{{ sudoers.split(‘,’) }}”

I just realised you have in fact two loops in there - one in the task (with\_items) and one in the template (for). I think the easiest way is to drop the with\_items and use the one inside the template:

{% for item in sudoers.split(‘,’ %}
