Question:
I have a json file in the same directory where my ansible script is. Following is the content of json file:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
{ "resources":[ {"name":"package1", "downloadURL":"path-to-file1" }, {"name":"package2", "downloadURL": "path-to-file2"} ] } |
I am trying to to download these packages using get_url. Following is the approach:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
--- - hosts: localhost vars: package_dir: "/var/opt/" version_file: "{{lookup('file','/home/shasha/devOps/tests/packageFile.json')}}" tasks: - name: Printing the file. debug: msg="{{version_file}}" - name: Downloading the packages. get_url: url="{{item.downloadURL}}" dest="{{package_dir}}" mode=0777 with_items: version_file.resources |
The first task is printing the content of the file correctly but in the second task, I am getting the following error:
|
1 2 3 4 |
[DEPRECATION WARNING]: Skipping task due to undefined attribute, in the future this will be a fatal error.. This feature will be removed in a future release. Deprecation warnings can be disabled by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg. |
Answer:
You have to add a from_json jinja2 filter after the lookup:
|
1 2 |
version_file: "{{ lookup('file','/home/shasha/devOps/tests/packageFile.json') | from_json }}" |
