| The goal is to define a dictionary like | |
| dict1: | |
| int1: 5 | |
| str1: "four" | |
| and be able to template output the dictionary as a whole (not leaf by leaf) such that the output looks like | |
| dict1: {"int1": 5, "srt1": "four"} | |
| The actual output prefixes the values on the RHS of the : with a u so it looks like | |
| dict1: {"int1": u"5", "srt1": u"four"} | |
| The output is a conf file and the code that reads it chokes on the u' prefix. | |
| To reproduce: | |
| cat templ.yml | |
| int1: {{int1}} | |
| srt1: {{str1}} | |
| dict1: {{dict1}} | |
| int1_accessed_by_dict: {{dict1['_int1']}} | |
| cat test.yml | |
| # test.yml | |
| - hosts: localhost | |
| vars: | |
| int1: 5 | |
| str1: "four" | |
| dict1: | |
| _int1: "{{int1}}" | |
| _str1: "{{str1}}" | |
| tasks: | |
| - debug: msg="{{int1}}" | |
| - debug: msg="{{str1}}" | |
| - debug: msg="{{dict1}}" | |
| - debug: msg="{{dict1['_int1']}}" | |
| - name: test templating | |
| local_action: template src=templ1.yml dest="{{ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME}}/templ_out.yml" | |
| - name: show result | |
| local_action: shell cat "{{ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME}}/templ_out.yml" | |
| Below is the output. |
