I have a task output like this: - name: Print Response of status resource debug: msg: " {{ result }}" ok: [node-3] =\> { “msg”: " {‘msg’: u’All items completed’, ‘changed’: False, ‘results’: [{‘ansible\_loop\_var’: u’item’, ‘failed’: False, ‘changed’: False, u’content’: {u’body’: None, u’node’: u’node-3’, u’allServicesLocked’: True, u’appServer’: u’1’, u’type’: u’iMIME’, u’data’: True,]} " } But when i try to access like that in some task, it does not work: until : result[‘results’].data == True , it complains saying dict does not have results attribute ! Here result is my registered variable. As per above response , it should work fine ? ---

‘data’ is inside ‘content’ you might want to check around that ---

Thanks Abhijeet ! I tried even result[‘results’][0].content.data but still it complains results is not dict attribute ! ---

Try by removing quotes result[results][0].content.data ---

No even it complains results is not defined ! I am not understanding whats wrong here : Here is the task: - name: print boss debug: msg: " {{ result }}" and output is: ok: [node-1] =\> { “msg”: " {‘msg’: u’All items completed’, ‘changed’: False, ‘results’: [{‘ansible\_loop\_var’: u’item’, ‘failed’: False, ‘changed’: False, u’content’: {u’body’: None, u’node’: u’node-1’, u’isFetched’: True, u’appServer’: u’1’, u’type’: u’appServerFullStatus’, u’allServicesEnabled’: I need to reach upto isFetched in this json ? ---

Notice, result is registered with loop ! So wanted to check in case of loop does registered variable contains result of each iteration ? ---

For example, this task   - debug:       var: result would give   \> ANSIBLE\_STDOUT\_CALLBACK=yaml ansible-playbook test.yml   result:     changed: false     msg: All items completed     results:     - ansible\_loop\_var: item       changed: false       content:         allServicesLocked: true         appServer: '1'         body: None         data: true         node: node-3         type: iMIME       failed: false Then, it's easier to find an expression which you're probably looking for   - debug:       var: result.results.0.content.data HTH,   -vlado ---
