I always find with_dict fiddly, it'll work eventually. I can't see
anything obvious at first glance
(
I do think
--email={{ item.value.name }}@domain
should be
--email="{{ item.key }}@domain"
but I don't think Ansible is getting as far as even opening the dict yet
)
When I get this kind of issue, I cut down the size of the dict to a
little sample set, just to verify the YAML
is formatted correctly (no whitespace gotchas?).
Also, are you sure the dict is in scope at this point?
