Issue
Below is the string
ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 my$pass myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
Desired output with password enclosed in single quotes:
ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 'my$pass' myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
Below is my ansible playbook:
- debug:
msg: "utils.dbping string is {{ item.split()[0] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[1] ~ ' \'' ~ item.split()[2] ~ '\' ' ~ item.split()[3] | trim }}"
loop:
- ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 my$pass myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
However, i get syntax error while executing:
The offending line appears to be:
- debug:
msg: "utils.dbping string is {{ item.split()[0] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[1] ~ ' \'' ~ item.split()[2] ~ '\' ' ~ item.split()[3] | trim }}"
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
Can you please suggest?
Solution
Since no use case description and no explanation is given, it looks just like a syntax error. You may have a look into the following example
---
- hosts: localhost
become: false
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- name: Quote in input
debug:
msg: "utils.dbping string is {{ item.split()[0] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[1] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[2] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[3] | trim }}"
loop:
- ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 'my$pass' myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
- name: Quote in output
debug:
msg: "utils.dbping string is {{ item.split()[0] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[1] ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[2] | quote ~ ' ' ~ item.split()[3] | trim }}"
loop:
- ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 my$pass myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
resulting into an output of
TASK [Quote in input] ************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 'my$pass' myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445) =>
msg: utils.dbping string is ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 'my$pass' myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
TASK [Quote in output] ************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => (item=ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 my$pass myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445) =>
msg: utils.dbping string is ORACLE_THIN PTEST1 'my$pass' myhost-SCA.mybank.com:1521/OLTP445
In both cases the desired one.
