Sorry, posted wrong output for the multi-item task (too early in the
morning I guess :-). Here's the evidence the multi-item 'results' return
data structure lacks the 'stdout_lines' attribute for the individual items:
TASK: [debug var=post]
********************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"item": "",
"post": {
"changed": true,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"changed": true,
"cmd": "cd tasks; ls ",
"delta": "0:00:00.006166",
"end": "2014-02-21 08:30:32.003038",
"invocation": {
"module_args": "cd tasks; ls",
"module_name": "shell"
},
"item": "cd tasks; ls",
"rc": 0,
"start": "2014-02-21 08:30:31.996872",
"stderr": "",
"stdout":
"cf_app_remap.yml\ncf_deployment.yml\nconcat_files.yml\nnpm_install.yml"
}
]
}
}
