ansible start multiple service and truncate name service

I want to start multiple service on playbook, but I want to remove end of service string like : a.service => a b.service => b

because I cannot use service a.service start, but I have to use service a start

because variable item is stored in default/main.yml role playbook like that :

name_services:
  - a.service
  - b.service

on main.yml

- name: start multiple service
  service:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: started
  with_items: "{{ name_services }}"
Solution

  • Use the filter splitext

    - name: start multiple service
  service:
    name: "{{ item | splitext | first }}"
    state: started
  with_items: "{{ name_services }}"
