Ansible fetch value from dict - dictionary

Question

I have below output from the debug, I need to set variable and loop thru commands
Debug output:
ok: [leafsw] => {
"msg": [
{
"cl_list": "AWSCL",
"delete": [
{
"list": "11111:10000",
"seq": 1
},
{
"list": "22222:10000",
"seq": 2
}
],
"name": "AWSCL",
"permit": [
"11111:10000",
"22222:10000"
]
},
{
"cl_list": "NORM_CL",
"name": "NORM_CL",
"permit": [
"33333:10000",
"44444:10000"
]
}
]
}
I need to fetch cl_list then next task is to use "with_items" to run other commands.
First: how to fetch dict value cl_list
Second: Add to variable so that I can use it a loop.
I tried:
- name: Get CL Name
debug: var="{{ item }}"
with_items: "{{ getclname.cl_list }}"
doesn't worked, also I tried:
- name: Get CL Name
debug: var="{{ item.cl_list }}"
with_items: "{{ getclname }}"
What I would like:
variable = ['AWSCL','NORM_CL'] so that I can use that in with_items loops
Any ideas?

Answer 1

you were almost there! try this task:
- name: get the cl_list from the variable
debug:
var: item.cl_list
with_items:
- "{{ my_var }}"
result:
TASK [get the cl_list from the variable] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
"item.cl_list": "AWSCL"
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=None) => {
"item.cl_list": "NORM_CL"
}
PLAY RECAP
its ready to be processed item by item.
SECOND WAY:
you could do this to get them in a list variable:
- name: get the cl_list from the variable
debug:
var: my_var | map(attribute="cl_list") | list
result:
TASK [get the cl_list from the variable] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"my_var | map(attribute=\"cl_list\") | list": [
"AWSCL",
"NORM_CL"
]
}
