This is a playbook part of a role that talks with vmware.
I'm is trying to set a custom fact (target_vm) that receive the virtual machine name.
But when I Print it's value with the debug module it apears to be empty.
I don't know what I'm is doing wrong in the set_fact module.
This is the Playbook
- delegate_to: localhost
become: no
delegate_facts: yes
vars:
vc_hostname: 'vcenter.bio.local'
vc_username: 'bio.local\ansible'
vc_password: "{{ v_pass }}"
vm_uuid: '4217200F-46D2-C9FD-E7FD-768D21B327E8' | lower
block:
- name: Gather only registered virtual machines
vmware_vm_info:
hostname: '{{ vc_hostname }}'
username: '{{ vc_username }}'
password: '{{ vc_password }}'
validate_certs: False
vm_type: vm
delegate_to: localhost
register: virtual_info
no_log: true
- name: Set facts target_vm when equal vm-name
set_fact:
target_vm: "{{ my_item.guest_name }}"
with_items: "{{ virtual_info.virtual_machines }}"
when: my_item.uuid == vm_uuid
loop_control:
loop_var: my_item
- name: Print Guest Name
debug:
msg:
- "{{ foo_item.guest_name }}"
- "{{ target_vm | default ('') }}"
with_items: "{{ virtual_info.virtual_machines }}"
when: foo_item.uuid == vm_uuid
loop_control:
loop_var: foo_item
This is the output

As you can see the second message that prints the target_vm var output is empty
Hope you can help. Thanks in advance!
