Hi all, the following task may sound easy but actually it fails all the time ...
I want to store my password in a variable and put it into an ansible-vault encrypted file. The content of this file will look like this: --- root_pass_sirius: "{{ TesT1234 }}" Now my check.yml shall read the encrypted file, get the password and login --- - hosts: sirius remote_user: ansible # gather_facts: no become: yes become_method: su vars_files: - enc_vars.yml vars: ansible_become_pass: '{{ root_pass_sirius }}' But the login fails with: FAILED! => { "msg": "The field 'become_pass' has an invalid value, which includes an undefined variable. The error was: {{ Test1234 }}: 'TesT1234' is undefined\nexception type: <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleUndefinedVariable'>\nexception: {{ TesT1234 }}: 'TesT1234' is undefined" } So it looks like ansible is unable to get the variable out of the encrypted file ... but WHY ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
