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 ?
