I need the string or destination path as the output and use it in other task but the output displayed is dfifferent. Here is the register output
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"changed": true,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": true,
"checksum": "b045e5836bbd01d9c6dd2b7426afb5d1c8957b30",
"dest": "/home/ec2-user/bb/Data-1.1.tar.gz",

}
},
"item": "/home/ec2-user/aa/Data-1.1.tar.gz",
"md5sum": "df9309334454cc3ceac9a6ac8fea8989",
"src": "/home/ec2-user/aa/Data-1.1.tar.gz"
I used the below the task to display the destination path
- set_fact:
filefact: "{{ output.results | map(attribute='item') | string }}"
- debug:
msg: "{{ filefact }}"
The output displayed is
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "<generator object do_map at 0x7f59539f01e0>"
i'd write :
- set_fact:
filefact: "{{ filefact | default([]) + [output.results.item] }}"
- debug:
msg: "{{ filefact }}"
the right syntax , following your output should be:
- set_fact:
filefact: "{{ filefact | default([]) + [output.results[0].item] }}"
or
- set_fact:
filefact: "{{ filefact | default([]) + [item.item] }}"
loop: "{{ output.results }}"
