Hi I hope this is the right place to post this. I reported https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/9242 a few days ago and I still have issues after it was closed. I'll give a similar example to the one I gave in the issue, but using vars_files and adding one more usecase:
inventory: localhost ansible_connection=local [all:vars] var=one vars_file: var2: "{{var}}" mapping: one: 1 two: 2 playbook: --- - hosts: localhost gather_facts: no vars_files: - vars_file vars: value: "{{mapping[var]}}" tasks: - debug: var=var - debug: var=var2 - debug: var=value command: ansible-playbook -i inventory playbook.yml -e var=two output: TASK: [debug var=var] ********************************************************* ok: [localhost] => { "var": "two" } TASK: [debug var=var2] ******************************************************** ok: [localhost] => { "var2": "one" } TASK: [debug var=value] ******************************************************* ok: [localhost] => { "value": "1" } In older versions (1.5.5 is the one I test with), the third (mapping) usecase is working properly, but the second does not. In the latest dev, both don't work Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
