grep url from text and access in ansible

Question

Team,

I have a text file containing the url that I need to launch using uri anisible module and capture its result to check http_status code is 200 or not. my playbook is below but I am getting error:

The same work when I use a defined variable from the vars file. but it does not work when I use it from the output of GREP result. if I switch my comment it works. that is if I use

url: https://'{{ site_from_vars_file }}'

-
  name: Test connectivity to target servers
  hosts: all
  vars_files:
           - vars.yaml
      - name: "GREP API server name..  "
        shell: "grep 443 $HOME/.kube/config/cluster-user.kubeconfig | awk -F '//' '{print $2}'"
        register: grep_output
        ignore_errors: true
      - debug:
          var: grep_output.stdout_lines
        when: grep_output.stdout != ''

      - name: "Validate site reachability response as 200 okay  "
        uri:
          #url: https://'{{ site_from_vars_file }}'
          url: https://'{{ grep_output }}'
          return_content: yes
          validate_certs: no
        register: uri_output
        failed_when: uri_output.status not in [200]

output:

It seems this one is the issue :

url: https://'{{ grep_output }}'

You need to changes it to below :

url: https://'{{ grep_output.stdout }}'
url: https://'{{ grep_output.stdout_lines }}'

Your play will look like this now :

- name: "Validate site reachability response as 200 okay  "
  uri:
    #url: https://'{{ site_from_vars_file }}'
    url: https://'{{ grep_output.stdout }}'
    return_content: yes
    validate_certs: no
  register: uri_output
  failed_when: uri_output.status not in [200]

awesome that was it.. but one correction: url: https://'{{ grep_output.stdout }}'. >>> url: https://{{ grep_output.stdout }} no quotes — AhmFM, Sep 28 '19 at 00:13
