Hi Pavel. I am experiencing issues with json_query() filter plugin. I am hitting the issue as reported to upstream at:
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/pull/10539 On my end the code fails as follows: fatal: [testmachine10]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Task failed: Finalization of task args for 'ansible.builtin.set_fact' failed: Error while resolving value for 'tokens_to_deploy_transformed': The filter plugin 'community.general.json_query' failed: JMESPathError in json_query filter plugin:\nIn function join(), invalid type for value: vault-test-a, expected one of: ['array-string'], received: \"_AnsibleTaggedStr\""} Ansible task definition looks as: - name: transform target tokens for easier lookup ansible.builtin.set_fact: tokens_to_deploy_transformed: "{{ tokens_to_deploy | json_query('[].join(`/`, [cluster, prefix])') | zip(tokens_to_deploy | map(attribute='name')) | map('pathjoin') | zip(tokens_to_deploy) | items2dict(key_name=0, value_name=1) }}" Diff from above GitHub pull request 10539 fixes the problem for me. See below diff for OpenBSD port.
