Another case, which isn't related to extra_vars but to the root cause
(according to my best guess) of evaluating the variables expressions too
early:
inventory:
localhost ansible_connection=local
[all:vars]
var=value
Playbook:
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
var2: "{{ var | default('none') }}"
tasks:
- debug: var=var
- debug: var=var2
Output:
TASK: [debug var=var]
*********************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"var": "value"
}
TASK: [debug var=var2]
********************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"var2": "none"
}
