ansible loop through list item condition gives error - list

I am trying to following but I am getting this error "The conditional check 'item.vrf = 'default'' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: expected token 'end of statement block', got '='. String: {% if item.vrf = 'default' %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}" how to fix it?
proc_vrf: [{''proc'': ''T1'', ''vrf'': ''default''}, {''proc'': ''T2'', ''vrf'': ''vrf_T2''}, {''proc'': ''T3'', ''vrf'': ''default''}, {''proc'': ''T3'', ''vrf'': ''vrf_T3''}]

cisco.nxos.nxos_config:
lines:

parents: router ospf {{ item.proc }}
save_when: modified
when: item.vrf|lower == 'default'
with_items: "{{ proc_vrf }}"

lines:

There was an operator error. corrected comparison operator, ==

How to loop through a complex nested map in Helm Charts

I am trying to associate users in a aws-auth config map using Helm. I'd like to loop through a nested map in our values file. My attempt to do this is as follows:
mapUsers: |
{{- range $username := .Values.users }}
- groups:
- system:masters
userarn: {{ $username.adminArn }}
username: {{ $username }}
{{- end }}
And the values file is as follows:
users:
username: user.name
userArn: user/Arn
adminArn: user/AdminArn
I'm not certain if this will solve my problem and would like some feedback.
After taking feedback from #Andrew, I was able to get this to work by first changing the structure of my values file to:
users:
testuser:
username: test.user
userArn: testuser/arn
adminArn: testuser/adminArn
I then was able to update my loop to:
{{- range $k := .Values.users }}
- groups:
- system:masters
userarn: {{ .adminArn }}
username: {{ .username }}
{{- end }}

Iterate over Variable in Jinja Template

I would like to iterate over a variable in ansible yaml and add key and value in jinja template
variable:
my:
variable:
- name: test
path: /etc/apt
cert: key.crt
my template
{% for key, value in item() %}
{{key}}: {{value}}
{% endfor %}
ansible yaml
- name: test
template:
force: yes
src: test.conf.j2
dest: /tmp/test.conf"
become: yes
with_items:
- "{{ my.variable }}"
How my yaml should look like:
path: /etc/apt
cert: key.crt
You actually have three issues in your task:
When using a loop, may it be loop or all the flavour of with_* you access the element currently looped in with the variable item, so not a function like you used in your task (item())
You are doing a superfluous list of list in
with_items:
- "{{ my.variable }}"
A first step would be to do with_items: "{{ my.variable }}".
An ever better step would be to use the loop replacement of the with_* syntax as suggested in the documentation
We added loop in Ansible 2.5. It is not yet a full replacement for with_<lookup>, but we recommend it for most use cases.
So you will end up with
loop: "{{ my.variable }}"
Then accessing properties of a dictionary in Jinja is done using the syntax
{% for key, value in dict.items() %}
Source: https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/templates/#for
So in your case:
{% for key, value in item.items() %}
All together, a working playbook demonstrating this would be:
- hosts: all
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- debug:
msg: |
{% for key, value in item.items() %}
{{key}}: {{value}}
{% endfor %}
loop: "{{ my.variable }}"
vars:
my:
variable:
- name: test
path: /etc/apt
cert: key.crt
That yields the result:
PLAY [all] *******************************************************************************************************
TASK [debug] *****************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item={'name': 'test', 'path': '/etc/apt', 'cert': 'key.crt'}) => {
"msg": " name: test\n path: /etc/apt\n cert: key.crt\n"
}
PLAY RECAP *******************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
Now you just have to reuse this in your template and loop and you should have what you expect.

Ansible - Append Item to List that's Buried within Dictionary

Objective
I am trying to append a string to a list belonging to a key which is a few layers down within a dictionary.
Explanation
I initialize an empty list buried within some pre-existing variable called info:
tasks:
- set_fact:
info: "{{ info | combine( { host: { repo: { folders: [] }}}, recursive=true ) }}"
In a later task, I wish to append a string to that empty list. This may happen over multiple tasks, so I don't want to replace the empty list, but add onto it as needed. I am currently trying this:
tasks:
- set_fact:
info: "{{ info | combine( { 'host': { 'repo': { 'folders': [] }}}, recursive=true ) }}"
- set_fact:
info: "{{ info.host.repo.folders + ['ERROR. folderX does not exist'] }}"
when: folderX does not exist
- set_fact:
info: "{{ info.host.repo.folders + ['ERROR. folderY does not exist'] }}"
when: folderY does not exist
However, I receive a template error:
FAILED! => {"msg": "template error while templating string: expected name or number. String: {{ info.host.repo.folder + ['ERROR. folderX does not exist'] }}"}
I know that you can simply add elements to a list when the destination is on topmost layer. For example:
- set_fact:
folders: []
- set_fact:
folders: "{{ folders + ['ERROR. folderX does not exist'] }}"
when: folderX does not exist
- set_fact:
folders: "{{ folders + ['ERROR. folderY does not exist'] }}"
when: folderY does not exist
- debug: var=folders
Which, as desired, gives:
TASK [debug] ***************************************************************************************************
"folders": [
"ERROR. folderX does not exist",
"ERROR. folderY does not exist"
]
So, how does the syntax change when I am trying to descend multiple layers and access a list that resides in a nested dictionary? Thank you!
dicts and lists in ansible are "live", so you can update them via set statements
- set_fact:
info: >-
{%- set _ = info.host.repo.update({"folders": []}) -%}
{{ info }}
- set_fact:
info: >-
{%- set _ = info.host.repo.folders.append("ERROR. folderY does not exist") -%}
{{ info }}
when: folderY does not exist
that set _ = business is because ansible's jinja does not support the do statement so one cannot have an assignment statement by itself

Ansible and Template file inserting values in to the template

I'm having issues at the moment I have a map of some aws subnets with their routing tables like so ( example output via ansible) :
"subnetwork_route_map": [
{
"route_table_id": "rtb-xxxxxx",
"subnet_id": "subnet-xxxxxx"
},
{
"route_table_id": "rtb-xxxxxx",
"subnet_id": "subnet-xxxxxxx"
},
{
"route_table_id": "rtb-xxxxxx",
"subnet_id": "subnet-xxxxxx"
}
]
I wish to insert these values in to a template file and I thought I could do something like this after seeing a few example:
{% for item in subnetwork_route_map %}
{{ item[1]['subnet_id'] }},{{ item[1]['route_table_id'] }}§
{% endfor %}
how ever i'm getting an error when I try this I get an error from ansible:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "dict object has no element 1"}
subnetwork_route_map is a list of dictionaries, item is an individual dictionary, you don't need the [1] part:
{% for item in subnetwork_route_map %}
{{ item['subnet_id'] }},{{ item['route_table_id'] }}§
{% endfor %}

Accessing JSON Key with Colon in Django Template

I'm trying to access the id field in JSON in a Django template, but it has a colon in it.
When I include it in the template, I get the following error:
"Could not parse the remainder: ':id' from 'result.id.attributes.im:id'".
I've tried escaping the name and the colon with no success.
I've included the JSON output when I use it's parent, as well as the Django template.
Any suggestions?
*HTML Output with JSON when passing up the parent (result.id.attribute) *
1 id: {**u'im:id': u'422689480'**, u'im:bundleId': u'com.google.Gmail'} Name: Gmail - Google, Inc.
2 id: {u'im:id': u'530755375', u'im:bundleId': u'com.kfactormedia.mycalendarfree'} Name: MyCalendar Free - K-Factor Media, LLC.
3 id: {u'im:id': u'518972315', u'im:bundleId': u'com.click2mobile.textGramFree'} Name: Textgram - Texting with Instagram FREE - click2mobile
4 id: {u'im:id': u'521863802', u'im:bundleId': u'com.appmosys.emoji2free'} Name: Emoji 2 Free - 300+ NEW Emoticons and Symbols - Appmosys
Django Template
<html>
<body>
{% for result in app_data.entry %}
<h3>
{{ forloop.counter }}
Id: {{ result.id.attributes }}
Name: {{ result.title.label }}
{% endfor %}
</h3>
</body>
</html>
Edit to include the View:
View
def findAppRank(request,AppId=424909112):
URL="http://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/topfreeapplications/limit=300/genre=6007/json"
r=requests.get(URL)
output=r.content
data=json.loads(output)
AppData=data['feed']
t=get_template('myrank.html')
html=t.render(Context({'app_data': AppData, 'app_id': AppId }))
return HttpResponse(html)
You're looking for the slice filter.
{{ result.id.attributes|slice:"'im:id'" }}
