Ansible - how to target item

Question

I want to target the path variable in this output of Ansible.

ok: [myMachine1] => { "foundFiles": { ... "results": [ { ... "files": [ { ... "path": "/my/first/path", ... } ], }, { ... "files": [ { ... "path": "/my/second/path", ... } } ] } }

How can I tell Ansible to target the 'path' variables. I'm trying with:

 - debug: msg: "{{ item.files.path }}" with_items: - foundFiles.results

But only getting "failed": true, "msg": "the field 'args' has an invalid value, which appears to include a variable that is undefined. The error was: 'unicode object' has no attribute 'key'

Thanks guru's.

First: bare variables are not supported since Ansible 2.2
Second: files is a list in your example

- debug: msg="{{ item.files[0].path }}" with_items: "{{ foundFiles.results }}"

If you have multiple entries under in files list, you should consider to map it.
