hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ec2_tag_Index'] not working

[rafaeltuelho]

The expression hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ec2_tag_Index'] used in many places is not working... It appears this fact is not being returned in hostvars fact....

TASK [wetty : Copy cert.pem to Wetty dir] ***************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [redhatgovbr.0.redhatbr.io]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ec2_tag_Index'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/home/rsoares/workshops/RedHatGov/redhatgov.workshops/roles/wetty/tasks/main.yml': line 57, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n#-------------------------------------------------------\n- name: Copy cert.pem to Wetty dir\n  ^ here\n\nexception type: <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleUndefinedVariable'>\nexception: 'dict object' has no attribute 'ec2_tag_Index'"}

Just for reference, I am running into this as well:

Interesting. What versions of boto and botocore are you using? What Ansible version, as well.

Thanks!

I'm using on my Mac:

Python 2.7.15
Ansible 2.6.2
Terraform v0.11.10

pip list | grep boto
boto                          2.49.0
boto3                        1.7.72
botocore                   1.10.72

But, in order to get instances tag from ec2 I had to use this: https://github.com/rafaeltuelho/redhatgov.workshops/blob/redhatbr/roles/wetty/tasks/main.yml#L3-L10

and then I can use this: {{ hostvars[inventory_hostname].ec2_tags.tags.Index }}, like in https://github.com/rafaeltuelho/redhatgov.workshops/blob/redhatbr/roles/wetty/tasks/main.yml#L52

Rafael,

You might want to consider using something like this:

• name: lookup running RHEL instances ec2_instance_facts: region: "{{ region }}" filters: tag:rhel: "at-{{ workshop_prefix }}" register: ec2_rhel

• debug: var: ec2_rhel

• name: Append RHEL instances to list` set_fact: rhel_instance_ids: "{{ rhel_instance_ids }} + [ '{{ item.instance_id }}' ]" with_items: "{{ ec2_rhel.instances }}"

That pulls instance tags (you can see me filtering for tags, in the first task. See the "ansible_tower_aws" workshop for more information.

Does that make sense?

Thanks!
