AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items' about ansible-cmdb

[fboender]

Hey Alexander,

Thanks for reporting the bug. It looks like there's something unexpected in one of the hosts files.

I've put a template containing debugging information at http://www.electricmonk.nl/temp/html_fancy.tpl

If you could download it and then try with that template:

$ ./ansible-cmdb -t /home/fboender/Downloads/html_fancy.tpl ../example/out > out.dump

It should give us an indication in which host and section the problem is occuring. It will be the last host and the last line of the output. If you could send me the offending hosts file ([email protected]; anything you send me will be kept strictly confidential), or paste the last line in the output here, I can see if I can fix it. It would also be helpful to know which type of host (OS, mostly) the host giving the problem is.

Thanks for your help!

Oops, accidentally closed the issue. Reopening.

Specifying a full path name to a template file fails here:

ansible-cmdb -t ./html_fancy.tpl reports >out.txt
Template not found: /usr/local/Cellar/ansible-cmdb/1.6/./html_fancy.tpl.tpl

But I installed your "debug template" as /usr/local/Cellar/ansible-cmdb/1.6/debug.tpl and called ansible-cmdb like this:

$ ansible-cmdb -t debug ./reports/ >out.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/ansible-cmdb", line 632, in <module>

  File "_usr_local_Cellar_ansible_cmdb_1_6_debug_tpl", line 110, in render_body
TypeError: argument of type 'Undefined' is not iterable

out.txt doesn't contain anything after this, it is 0 bytes long, there is no output to stdout at all …

Okay, but I found out by hand which inventory files do cause the problem: this are all host files of OpenBSD systems!

If I remove all OpenBSD systems from my reports/ folder, ansible-cmdb works as expected.
But if I add an inventory file of an arbitrary OpenBSD system, it fails with the backtrace shown above.

[alexbarton]

@fboender I sent you an example inventory file by email. Please let me know if I can test something or you need more information!

[fboender]

Hey Alexander.

Thanks for figuring that out! I'll write up a fix soon.

[fboender]

Hey Alexander,

I pushed a fix for OpenBSD facts to the master branch. There's still some missing information (see issue #51 ), but at least it doesn't crash now. Can you verify that it works?

Thanks in advance!

[fboender]

I'm closing this issue in the assumption that things are working correctly now. If not, please reopen!

[alexbarton]

Thanks @fboender, I can confirm that your patches fixed the issue.
