iteration using with_items and register - ansible

Question

Looking for help with a problem I've been struggling with for a few hours. I want to iterate over a list, run a command, register the output for each command and then iterate with debug over each unique registers {{ someregister }}.stdout
For example, the following code will spit out "msg": "1" and "msg": "2"
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
numbers:
- name: "first"
int: "1"
- name: "second"
int: "2"
tasks:
- name: Register output
command: "/bin/echo {{ item.int }}"
register: result
with_items: "{{ numbers }}"
- debug: msg={{ item.stdout }}
with_items: "{{ result.results }}"
If however, I try and capture the output of a command in a register variable that is named using with_list, I am having trouble accessing the list or the elements within it. For example, altering the code slightly to:
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
numbers:
- name: "first"
int: "1"
- name: "second"
int: "2"
tasks:
- name: Register output
command: "/bin/echo {{ item.int }}"
register: "{{ item.name }}"
with_items: "{{ numbers }}"
- debug: var={{ item.name.stdout }}
with_items: "{{ numbers }}"
Gives me:
TASK [debug]
> ******************************************************************* fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "'unicode
> object' has no attribute 'stdout'"}
Is it not possible to dynamically name the register the output of a command which can then be called later on in the play? I would like each iteration of the command and its subsequent register name to be accessed uniquely, e.g, given the last example I would expect there to be variables registered called "first" and "second" but there aren't.
Taking away the with_items from the debug stanza, and just explicitly defining the var or message using first.stdout returns "undefined".
Ansible version is 2.0.2.0 on Centos 7_2.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

OK so I found a post on stackoverflow that helped me better understand what is going on here and how to access the elements in result.results.
The resultant code I ended up with was:
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
vars:
numbers:
- name: "first"
int: "1"
- name: "second"
int: "2"
tasks:
- name: Register output
command: "/bin/echo {{ item.int }}"
register: echo_out
with_items: "{{ numbers }}"
- debug: msg="item.item={{item.item.name}}, item.stdout={{item.stdout}}"
with_items: "{{ echo_out.results }}"
Which gave me the desired result:
"msg": "item.item=first, item.stdout=1"
"msg": "item.item=second, item.stdout=2"

Answer 2

I am not sure if I understand the question correctly, but maybe this can help:
- debug: msg="{{ item.stdout }}"
with_items: echo_out.results
Please note that Ansible will print each item and the msg both - so you need to look carefully for a line that looks like "msg": "2".
