I am doing this task

`

  • name: Register evercam-media local commit hash
    local_action:
    shell
    chdir={{local_media_dir}}
    git log --pretty=‘{“sha”:“%h”, “author_name”:“%an”, “author_name”:“%ae”, “unix_timestamp”:“%at”, “subject”:“%s”, “branch”:“%d”}’ | head -1
    register: local_commit_info

  • set_fact:
    commit: “{{ local_commit_info.stdout }}”

`

which creates such as

`

“changed”: true,

All I want to do is to send the commit to a URL as a post request.

I am doing this way

`

  • uri:
    url: “http://www.myapi.com/create”
    method: POST
    return_content: yes
    body_format: json
    HEADER_Content-Type: “application/json”
    body: “{{ commit }}”
    `

But I am getting error such as

`
fatal: [media.evercam.io]: FAILED! => {
“changed”: false,
“invocation”: {
“module_args”: {
“HEADER_Content-Type”: “application/json”,
“body”: {
“author_name”: “junaid@evercam.io”,
“branch”: " (HEAD → master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)",
“sha”: “aca4ef2”,
“subject”: “Merge pull request #1240 from evercam/delete_timelapse”,
“unix_timestamp”: “1576042588”
},
“body_format”: “json”,
“method”: “POST”,
“return_content”: true,
“url”: “http://www.myapi.com/create”
}
},
“msg”: “Unsupported parameters for (uri) module: HEADER_Content-Type Supported parameters include: attributes, backup, body, body_format, client_cert, client_key, content, creates, delimiter, dest, directory_mode, follow, follow_redirects, force, force_basic_auth, group, headers, http_agent, method, mode, owner, regexp, remote_src, removes, return_content, selevel, serole, setype, seuser, src, status_code, timeout, unix_socket, unsafe_writes, url, url_password, url_username, use_proxy, validate_certs”
}

`

Can you point where I am wrong? I also tried Just using curl which didn’t work as well?

I have removed headers but now I am getting this error

Hi Junaid,

You can convert stdout to json using jq binary and from_json filter like -

tasks:

  • name: local
    local_action:
    shell
    chdir=/Volumes/data/src/ansible/
    git log --pretty=‘[“%h”, “%an”, “%ae”, “%ad”, “%s”]’ | head -1 | jq
    register: local_commit_info

  • set_fact:
    m: “{{ local_commit_info.stdout | from_json }}”

  • debug:
    msg: “{{ m[1] }}”

You can m directly in your next call.
