Not able to print output

Question

I want to print storage filer version output generated by the na_ontap_command module using ansible-playbooks.

I tried to register the result in a variable and print it using a debug message, but I am getting error.

`---
- hosts: localhost
  name: run ontap cli command
  gather_facts: no
  connection: local
  vars_files:
  - var_file.yml
  tasks:
  - name: run ontap cli command
    na_ontap_command:
      command: ['version']
      https: true
      validate_certs: false
      hostname: "{{ hostname }}"
      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
    register: command_result
  - debug:
      var: command_result.stdout_lines
`

My playbook should return the version of the storage filer NetApp Release 9.1P8

This is the debug I am getting:

>TASK [debug] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "command_result.stdout_lines": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!"
}

`fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (na_ontap_command) module: register Supported parameters include: command, hostname, http_port, https, ontapi, password, username, validate_certs")` — , Apr 01 '19 at 06:50
Did you check this? [reigster is not working with ansible git task](https://stackoverflow.com/q/44323190/2173917) — Sourav Ghosh, Apr 01 '19 at 06:56
@SouravGhosh yeah it removed my error but still I am not getting the desired output, what is changed is `ok: [localhost] => { "command_result.stdout_lines": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!" } ` — , Apr 01 '19 at 07:02
Register was not well indented on the first version of your message — bast, Apr 01 '19 at 07:16

`stdout_lines` is usally available in the result with `command` or `shell` module. It does not exist in your case. — Zeitounator, Apr 01 '19 at 09:09
@Zeitounator yeah i figured it out once i explored some of the blogs — , Apr 01 '19 at 09:48

Try this:

register: output
- name: print CLI Output
  debug: 
    msg: 
     - "output": "{{output.msg.split('\n')}}
