I'm trying to delete AWS Route53 TXT records using Ansible
This is a section of my playbook
- name: "Retrieve the details for {{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }} TXT Record"
community.aws.route53:
state: get
private_zone: true
record: "{{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }}"
type: TXT
zone: "{{ internal_domain }}"
register: rec_TXT
- name: display record
debug: var=rec_TXT
- name: "Delete {{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }} TXT Record"
community.aws.route53:
state: absent
private_zone: true
record: "{{ rec_TXT.set.record }}"
ttl: "{{ rec_TXT.set.ttl }}"
type: "{{ rec_TXT.set.type }}"
value: "{{ rec_TXT.set.value | string }}"
zone: "{{ rec_TXT.set.zone }}"
when: rec_TXT.set | length > 0
this results in the error
"msg": "[Tried to delete resource record set [name='dashboard.uat1tx.test.xyz.internal.', type='TXT'] but the rdata provided is invalid]"
When running the playbook in verbose mode (-vvv) the get request produces
ok: [localhost] => {

The issue is with the commas in the values.
Someone has raised an issue, but no tips provided. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/58084
How can I pass the 'literal' sting the the value option?
Can anyone provide any tips/solutions please?!!!
Since I have a somehow similar use case, but with an other REST API, I wanted to share my solution approach here.
In my use case also a CSV_STRING
is expected. Something like
CSV_STRING:
'
"heritage=external-dns",
"external-dns/owner=SST4985-EKSCluster-uat1tx",
"external-dns/resource=service/default/k8s-dashboard-kubernetes-dashboard"
'
I set the value with
{{ CSV_STRING | trim | replace(' ', '') }}
If I have it as list already
---
CSV_STRING
- '"heritage=external-dns"'
- '"external-dns/owner=SST4985-EKSCluster-uat1tx"'
- '"external-dns/resource=service/default/k8s-dashboard-kubernetes-dashboard"'
I can set the value with
{{ CSV_STRING | join(',') }}
However, looking into the current source code of ansible-collections/community.aws/blob/main/plugins/modules/route53.py , it looks like that value
do not expect a string.
def main():
argument_spec = dict(
...
value=dict(type='list', elements='str'),
...
As well the documentation of route53
– add or delete entries in Amazons Route 53 DNS service say that for parameter value
, a list of string elements is expected.
This means, you would need to do the opposite, splitting up your string on comma into a list before.
Further Q&A
I cheated and defaulted to the command module
I would still like to use the route53 module and resolve the issue.
I have a template
{
"Comment": "Record Set Delete Changes",
"Changes": [
{
"Action": "DELETE",
"ResourceRecordSet": {
"Name": "{{ rec_TXT.set.record }}",
"Type": "TXT",
"TTL" : {{ rec_TXT.set.ttl }},
"ResourceRecords": [
{
"Value": "\"{{ rec_TXT.set.value[1:-1] }}\""
}
]
}
}
]
}
The plays looks like
- name: "Retrieve the details for {{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }} TXT Record"
community.aws.route53:
state: get
private_zone: true
record: "{{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }}"
type: TXT
zone: "{{ internal_domain }}"
register: rec_TXT
- block:
- name: Create the JSON file to delete the TXT record
ansible.builtin.template:
src: delete_txt_record.json.j2
dest: "{{ output_dir }}/{{ item }}_delete_txt_record.json"
owner: test
group: test
mode: '0644'
- name: "Delete {{ item }}.{{ build_number }}.{{ internal_domain }} TXT Record"
ansible.builtin.command:
cmd: "/usr/local/bin/aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id {{ rec_TXT.set.hosted_zone_id }} --change-batch file://{{ output_dir }}/{{ item }}_delete_txt_record.json"
when: rec_TXT.set | length > 0
when: rec_TXT.set | length > 0
