How to pass extra variables to ansible as list of dictionary to ansible playbook by --extra-vars?
0
I want to pass variables to my ansible playbook by --extra-vars, and the type of variables is a list of dict like this:
list1:
- { key1: "val1", key2: "val2" }
- { key1: "val3", key2: "val4" }My playbook is :
---
- name: main file
gather_facts: false
hosts: localhost
vars:
list1: "{{ lists }}"
tasks:
- name: echo item
shell: echo {{ item.key1 }}
with_items: list1and I try to pass variables like this:
ansible-playbook build_and_cppcheck.yml -e "lists=[{ "key1": "val1", "key2":"val2" },{ "key1": "val3", "key2":"val4" }]"But it doesn't work:
fatal: [localhost] => with_items expects a list or a setIs there any advise?

Just use JSON string syntax: Ansible doc. For example:
$ play.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "This is {{ test[0] }}"
- debug:
msg: "This is {{ test[1] }}"
$ ansible-playbook play.yml -e '{"test":["1.23.45", "12.12.12"]}'
[3sky@t410 testing]$ ansible-playbook play.yml -e '{"test":["1.23.45", "12.12.12"]}'
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
PLAY [localhost] ********************************************************************************
TASK [debug] ********************************************************************************
