CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

Target host: Ubuntu 20.04

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

 - name: Check if OVN Mac Mapping is defined
    openvswitch_db:
      state: read
      table: open_vswitch
      record: .
      col: external_ids
      key: ovn-chassis-mac-mappings
    register: ovn_mac_mapping

  - debug:
      var: ovn_mac_mapping

EXPECTED RESULTS

Value should be returned because it is defined.

$ ovs-vsctl list open . | grep external_ids
external_ids        : {hostname=test-node09, ovn-bridge-mappings="physnet1:br-provider", ovn-chassis-mac-mappings="physnet1:fa:16:3f:93:18:29", ovn-cms-options=enable-chassis-as-gw, ovn-encap-ip="10.0.0.9", ovn-encap-type=geneve, ovn-openflow-probe-interval="60", ovn-remote="ssl:10.0.0.2:6642", ovn-remote-probe-interval="180000", rundir="/var/run/openvswitch", system-id="ae0cb377-2e90-5894-a96f-33bfb5e68901"}

$ /usr/bin/ovs-vsctl -t 5 get open_vswitch . external_ids:ovn-chassis-mac-mappings
"physnet1:fa:16:3f:93:18:29"

ACTUAL RESULTS

"ovn_mac_mapping": {
        "changed": true,
        "commands": [
            "/usr/bin/ovs-vsctl -t 5 get open_vswitch . external_ids:ovn-chassis-mac-mappings"
        ],
        "failed": false,
        "failed_when_result": false,
        "output": {
            "ovn-chassis-mac-mappings": ""
        }
    }

This has something to do with dashes in the name. When I fetch a key that has no dashes (e.g. hostname), the value is returned in output.
