Ansible nested loops
I have a variable that looks like this:
device:
- sdb: 2
- sdc: 3
- sdd: 4
How can I produce the result with ansible loops:
sdb 1
sdb 2
sdc 1
sdc 2
sdc 3
sdd 1
sdd 2
sdd 3
sdd 4
I tried with_sequence
and loop_control
but it didn't work.

Wrote a debug task with ansible loop and jinja which should give you the desired result. Refactor as required.
- name: Debug device var
debug:
msg: "{% for key, value in item.iteritems() %}{% for i in range(value) %} {{ key }} {{ loop.index }} {% endfor %}{% endfor %}"
loop: "{{ device }}"
Actually, I need use the result in the command. So how could I get the result without jinjia?

Yeah that's the correct output, isn't it ?
– Anant Naugai

The output should be "sdc 1" "sdc 2" "sdc 3" instead of " sdc 1 sdc 2 sdc 3 " in each command line.

If you just need quotes around the values then use this (quotes need to be escaped for debug msg): "{% for key, value in item.iteritems() %}{% for i in range(value) %}"{{ key }} {{ loop.index }}" {% endfor %}{% endfor %}"

I mean I need separated lines in each command, not just need the quotes. Maybe jinja isn't suitable for the case.

If you just need quotes around the values then use this (quotes need to be escaped for debug msg): "{% for key, value in item.iteritems() %}{% for i in range(value) %}"{{ key }} {{ loop.index }}" {% endfor %}{% endfor %}"

I mean I need separated lines in each command, not just need the quotes. Maybe jinja isn't suitable for the case.
