Use two with_items loops in one Task - ansible

Question

I did quite some research on this question. Though i did not find the answer to solve my problem.
I want to delete a directorys content with ansibe with deleting the directory itself. I want to do this for multiple directorys.
In theory i want to do something like this:
- name: Delete dir on Prod/Stag
file:
state: "{{ item.1 }}"
path: "{{ /path/ }}{{ item.2 }}/"
with_items.1:
- absent
- directory
with_items.2:
- test1
- test2
- test3
- test4
Sadly this does not work.
This is what i have right now.
- name: Delete dir
file:
state: absent
path: "{{ path }}{{ item }}/"
with_items:
- test1
- test2
- test3
- test4
Is there a way to make this code shorter by creating two loops?

Answer 1

You want with_nested:
- debug:
msg: "state: {{ item.0 }}; path: {{ item.1 }}"
with_nested:
- [ absent, directory ]
- [ sys, wifi, reco-properties, threshold-prod ]
Results in:
TASK [debug] *******************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'absent', u'sys']) => {
"msg": "state: absent; path: sys"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'absent', u'wifi']) => {
"msg": "state: absent; path: wifi"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'absent', u'reco-properties']) => {
"msg": "state: absent; path: reco-properties"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'absent', u'threshold-prod']) => {
"msg": "state: absent; path: threshold-prod"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'directory', u'sys']) => {
"msg": "state: directory; path: sys"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'directory', u'wifi']) => {
"msg": "state: directory; path: wifi"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'directory', u'reco-properties']) => {
"msg": "state: directory; path: reco-properties"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=[u'directory', u'threshold-prod']) => {
"msg": "state: directory; path: threshold-prod"
}
