How to access array elements?

[nicolamarangoni]

Hi Jan,

how can I access array elements?

- type: "set"
  path: "colors[1].color"
  value: "orange"

Create an element of name "colors[1]"

- type: "set"
  path: "colors.[1].color"
  value: "orange"

generate the following error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: list indices must be integers, not str
