Hi,

Try

vars_files:
- vars/"{{ dcenv }}".yml
- vars/vault

[ansible-project] Having problems with a variable in vars_files

[Brian O'Mahony]

I am having an issue with referencing a variable in var_files module, and 
cant for the life of me figure it out. I am generating some vars in a 
playbook, and using setfact on them [basically awk shell commands to strip 
arts of the ansible control node hostname]

If i debug the var before hand I can see it, but the play returns an 
undefined variable:

*Playbook:*
---
# Set DC and ENV vars before doing anything
- import_playbook: generate_predeploy_vars.yml
- name: Debug
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
- debug: var=dcenv
- name: Test Inventory
  gather_facts: yes
  vars_files:
- "vars/{{ dcenv }}.yml"
- vars/vault
  hosts: localhost
  tasks:
- ping:

*Output:*

PLAY [Get DC and ENV variables from Ansible Controller hostname] 
**

TASK [shell] 
**
changed: [localhost]

TASK [shell] 
**
changed: [localhost]

TASK [set_fact] 
***
ok: [localhost]

PLAY [Debug] 
**

TASK [Gathering Facts] 

ok: [localhost]

TASK [debug] 
**
ok: [localhost] =>
  dcenv: my-prod

PLAY [Test Inventory] 
*
ERROR! an undefined variable was found when attempting to template the 
vars_files item 'vars/{{ dcenv }}.yml'
