Question

# Replace RUNNING SERVER token by server id

- hosts: servers_app
  become_user: root
  gather_facts: True
  vars:
    - running_server_token: \@\@\@_RUNNING_SERVER_\@\@\@
  tasks:
    - name: Find app js file
      become: true
      become_user: root
      shell: "ls {{ tomcat_install_base }}/webapps/{{ deployed_appl_name }}/app/app-*.js"
      register: app_js
    - debug: msg="{{ app_js.stdout }}"
    - name: Replace RUNNING SERVER token by server id
      become: true
      become_user: root
      replace:
        path: "{{ app_js.stdout }}"
        regexp: "{{ running_server_token }}"
        replace: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

when i run the above playbook, I see the below error message. May i know whether I am doing something wrong.

all the js files do exists, but not sure why this message always.

You should not use `stdout` directly, but `stdout_lines` in a loop. Anyway, parsing `ls` is something to avoid. Use `find` module first and iterate over the results, like in the answers and questions marked as duplicate. — techraf, Aug 13 '18 at 20:54
Thank you, I made changes now with the find module, still some unknown errors ? Code: find: paths: "{{ tomcat_install_base }}/webapps/{{ deployed_appl_name }}/app" patterns: "app.*.js" register: app_js replace: destination: "{{ item.path }}" regexp: "{{ running_server_token }}" replace: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" with_items: "{{ app_js.files }}" Output : "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (replace) module: destination Supported parameters include: — YemGa, Aug 13 '18 at 23:10
There is no `destination` parameter in the `replace` module. Just like the error says. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.6/modules/replace_module.html — techraf, Aug 14 '18 at 05:36
