Multiple conditions and comparing two different data types using Ansible












0















I have ansible variable which is a dictionary time and I want to compare that with a string variable or comma separated input. Following is the playbook that I am trying to compile using



- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
cluster:
name:
- "raj"
- "kiran"
- "Pavan"
inputcluster:
- "raj"
tasks:
# inner.yml
- debug:
msg: "outer item={{ outer_item.cluster.name }} "
with_items:
- cluster:
name:
- "raj"
- "kiran"
- "Pavan"
loop_control:
loop_var: outer_item
when:
- inputcluster
- outer_item.cluster.name == inputcluster`


I want echo statement to print only "raj" by comparing the string with the dictionary. How can I achieve that?

          I think you have to loop over name list to match it and to iterate over two lists you need nested loop. This can do the trick.



          - hosts: localhost
          gather_facts: false
          vars:
          cluster:
          name:
          - "raj"
          - "kiran"
          - "Pavan"
          inputcluster:
          - "raj"
          tasks:
          # inner.yml
          - debug:
          msg: "outer item={{ item[1] }} "
          with_nested:
          - "{{ inputcluster }}"
          - "{{ cluster.name }}"
          when: (item[0] == item[1])
