I am trying to install chef automate using chef habitat with ansible.
here is the related section of main.yml
- name: get aib filename
find:
paths: /home/ec2-user
file_type: file
use_regex: yes
patterns:
- '^automate.*'
register: file_automate
- name: deploy chef-automatev2
command: "sudo chef-automate deploy '/home/ec2-user/config.toml' --accept-terms-and-mlsa --skip-preflight --airgap-bundle '/home/ec2-user/{{ file_automate.files }}'"
but getting error:

and if i use:
- name: deploy chef-automatev2
command: "chef-automate deploy config.toml --accept-terms-and-mlsa --skip-preflight --airgap-bundle {{ file_automate.files }}"
i get error:

was able to get the dictionary item:
- hosts: chefclusterautomatev2
remote_user: ec2-user
become: yes
become_method: sudo
connection: ssh
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: get aib filename
find:
paths: /home/ec2-user
register: res
- name: deploy chef-automatev2
debug:
msg: printing aib filename
with_items: "{{ res.files | map(attribute='path') | first}}"
Thanks to Matthew i get at playbook run:
TASK [deploy chef-automatev2] *************************************************************************
ok: [1.1.1.17] => (item=/home/ec2-user/automate-20181019225406.aib) => {
"msg": "printing aib filename"
}
Now the question is how to use this object in "command" or "shell" ansible modules
Here is how I resolved the question of using the object in a shell command:
- hosts: localhost
remote_user: a3x52zz
connection: ssh
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: get aib filename
find:
paths: /Users/a3x52zz/ansible-test
file_type: "file"
patterns: "automate*.aib"
register: files_matched
- debug:
msg: "{{files_matched.files[1].path}}"
- name: cat filename
command: cat "{{files_matched.files[1].path}}"
If you were to read the error message, you would see that file_automate.files does not contain a list of filenames but rather contains a list of python objects, likely as the result of calling stat:
"cmd": [
"sudo",
"chef-automate",
"deploy",
"/home/ec2-user/config.toml",
"--accept-terms-and-mlsa",
"--skip-preflight",
"--airgap-bundle",
"/home/ec2-user/[{uuid: 0, uwoth: False, umtime: 1540882069.3233995, uinode: 82, uisgid: False, usize: 605693959, uisuid: False, uisreg: True, upw_name: uroot, ugid: 0, uischr: False, uwusr: True, uxoth: False, uislnk: False, unlink: 1, uissock: False, urgrp: True, ugr_name: uroot, upath: u/home/ec2-user/automate-20181020020209.aib, uxusr: False, uatime: 1540882068.8493989, uisdir: False, uctime: 1540882074.7854095, uisblk: False, uwgrp: False, uxgrp: False, udev: 64768, uroth: True, uisfifo: False, umode: u0644, urusr: True}]"
],
If you want just the list of filenames, {{ file_automate.files | map(attribute="path") | list }} should give that to you, although you'll want to omit the leading /home/ec2-user/ because as one can see, the path field of that object in files is already fully qualified.
