I'm collecting the SQL version and edition found in registry using win_reg_stat, registering these into a variable, and writing them to a file.
Is it possible to write the values to the same line instead of separate lines?
- name: get sql version
win_reg_stat:
path: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\{{ item }}\Setup
name: Version
with_items: "{{ sql_versions }}"
register: sql_version
- name: get sql edition
win_reg_stat:
path: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\{{ item }}\Setup
name: Edition
with_items: "{{ sql_versions }}"
register: sql_edition
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/sql
line: "{{ inventory_hostname }};{{ item.value }}"
when: item.exists
with_items:
- "{{ sql_version.results }}"
delegate_to: localhost
- lineinfile:
dest: /tmp/sql
line: "{{ inventory_hostname }};{{ item.value }}"
when: item.exists
with_items:
- "{{ sql_edition.results }}"
delegate_to: localhost
The sql_versions variable contains multiple items:
sql_versions:
- MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL14.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER
- MSSQL.1
Output example:

I have a project with roles/requirements.yml and collections/requirements.yml. This - I think - per AWX / Tower guidelines.
On project update the roles/requirements.yml is picked up successfully but the collections/requirements.yml fails with a typical Ansible error message unfortunately that doesn't help me understand what is going wrong.

Of course I tested the requirements locally. It works. Just not in AWX.
With the exception of one task having status failed I really don't see any difference between the error message on failure and the success logging when fetches roles.
What is wrong here?
I just came across this question since I encountered the same situation. I was able to resolve my issue and would like to share my approach. My AWX version is 17.1.0 (Docker image).
How to identify the root cause
enable the -vvv option as sadok-f suggested (see detailed instructions below)
open the job execution logs
click on the logline of the failing task (a small pop-up appears)
click the JSON tab (or Standard Error - Most details are provided in the JSON tab)
read the significantly more descriptive error message
My issue was, that I had a typo in the Ansible Galaxy credentials. Therefore my dependencies within the requirements.yml were not installable.
How to increase the verbosity for project jobs
As mentioned by sadok-f, enable the -vvv option for more verbosity. That option is a bit hidden. You can see the current configuration at Settings > Jobs settings. Now look for "Run Project Updates With Higher Verbosity" (the project update triggers the installation of requirements.yml files).
At least for AWX 17.1.0, editing the settings via the GUI is not implemented. You need to patch the settings via AWX-API to enable the project update-job verbosity. To do so, visit the AWX-API:
<your-awx-fqdn>/api/v2/settings/jobs/
At the bottom of the page, you have a small window that allows you to modify the content. Within the content box look for:
"PROJECT_UPDATE_VVV": false,
and change it to:
"PROJECT_UPDATE_VVV": true,
Click the PATCH button. That enables the -vvv option for project refresh jobs. As written, those refresh jobs install the requirements.
Synch your project and have a look at the significantly more verbose job logs (Projects > Sync Project (the tiny cycle-arrow button)).
I have a variable, which is a list as below:
"test_list": [
"some text here",
"server1",
"command1 parameter1",
"path/to/command2 parameter2 server1_202012",
"some more text",
"New backup file is server1_202019"
]
I am trying to extract the substring server1_202019 which is at the end of the line that starts with New backup file.... There is only one line like this and I've tried below option to get the substring.
- set_fact:
test_name: "{{ test_list | select('^New backup file is (.+)$','\\1') }}"
and the output I've received is:
"test_name": "<generator object _select_or_reject at 0x3fe5b40>"
I've tried below code also, but failed.
- set_fact:
test_name: "{{ test_list | regex_search('^New backup file is (.+)$','\\1') }}"
The error is:
"msg": "Unexpected templating type error occurred on ({{ test_list | regex_search('^New backup file is (.+)$','\\\\1') }}): ..... expected string or buffer"
Could somebody please suggest how I can get the output as below:
"test_name": "server1_202019"
The ansible version I'm using is 2.9
Thanks
Select the item from the list and then use regex_replace. For example
- set_fact:
test_name: "{{ test_list|
select('regex', my_regex)|
first|
regex_replace(my_regex, my_replace) }}"
vars:
my_regex: '^New backup file is (.*)$'
my_replace: '\1'
- debug:
var: test_name
give
"test_name": "server1_202019"
Since test_list is a list, you need to loop through the items to be matched using regex. Something like below can be done.
- set_fact:
matched: "{{ item | regex_search('^New backup file is (.+)$','\\1') }}"
loop: "{{ test_list }}"
register: matching_items
- debug:
var: item.ansible_facts.matched
with_items: "{{ matching_items.results }}"
when: item.ansible_facts.matched != ""
Should output like below for debug:

localhost : ok=4 changed=2 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0
I managed to run this mechanism with a simple example like this:
- name: 'waiting for a long tasks'
shell: /bin/sleep 15
async: 1000
poll: 0
register: yum_sleeper
delegate_to: myserver
- debug:
msg: "{{ yum_sleeper }}"
delegate_to: myserver
- name: 'get results'
async_status:
jid: "{{ yum_sleeper.ansible_job_id }}"
register: job_result
until: job_result.finished
retries: 30
delegate_to: myserver
But in my real use case i have a "results" properties that can be problematic ...
Can somebody help me ?
Thanks you
I think the issue is on become. To check the async_status the user needs to be the same as the one who ran the async job.
- name: 'waiting for shutdown'
become: yes
async_status:
jid: "{{ item['ansible_job_id'] }}"
register: job_result
until: job_result.finished
retries: 30
with_items: "{{ restart_aelnet['results'] }}"
delegate_to: myserver
Trying to write one playbook that checks whether a set of files exist on a set of servers (both Linux and Windows hosts), and if they do, then to replace the files.
Here is what i have so far:
---
- hosts: "{{hosts}}"
vars:
scripts:
- check_blackout.pl
- check_empty.pl
tasks:
- name: windows stat
with_items: "{{scripts}}"
win_stat: path=D:\scripts\{{item}}
register: windows_stat
when: "'windows' in group_names"
- name: other stat
with_items: "{{scripts}}"
stat: path=/usr/local/bin/{{item}}
register: other_stat
remote_user: "{{script_owner | default(ansible_user)}}"
when: "'windows' not in group_names"
- name: windows debug
with_items: "{{windows_stat.results}}"
debug: var={{item.item}}
when: "{{item.stat.exists}}"
- name: other debug
with_items: "{{other_stat.results}}"
debug: var={{item.item}}
when: "{{item.stat.exists}}"
...
When I run this against a Windows and Linux host for testing, I get the following:

Any ideas how I can get this working?
I've tried various combinations including checking the group membership before checking the results:
when: "'windows' in group_names and {{item.stat.exists}}"
However Ansible still seems to check the item.stat field even when the first part of the condition is false.
Or is my fundamental approach wrong, should I be splitting these tasks up into different playbooks?
Yes, you are right. with_items is evaluated before when. You can add a default empty list to avoid the error:
- name: other debug
with_items: "{{other_stat.results | default([]) }}"
debug: var={{item}}
when: "{{item.stat.exists | default(false)}}"
Got it working, here is successful playbook and output:
