Hello,

I've search here for "programmatic" and had a look at 
http://docs.ansible.com/faq.html#how-do-i-access-a-variable-name-programatically
 but 
remain stumped.

I've got these group_vars/all.yml:

           applist: [ boldface, taximeter ]

appconf:
  boldface:
    repo: https://github.com/opyate/twitter-word-source
    install_dir: "/opt/apps/boldface"
    description: "Twitter Word Source API"
    http_port: 3000
    https_port: 4440
  taximeter:
    repo: https://github.com/opyate/taximeter
    install_dir: "/opt/apps/taximeter"
    description: "Taxi cab fare API as per TFL guidelines"
    http_port: 3001
    https_port: 4441


I've got this task (and many others for these similar apps):

  - name: API | Create app dir 
    file: dest={{appconf[$item]['install_dir']}} owner=$ansible_ssh_user 
group=admin mode=755 state=directory
    sudo: yes 
    tags: api 
    with_items: "{{applist}}"

I expect it to create /opt/apps/boldface and /opt/apps/taximeter

 However, I end up with stuff like this (after trying varying combinations 
of the 'dest' parameter in the task):

r00t@vagrant-ubuntu-saucy-64:~$ ls /home/r00t/*
/home/r00t/{{appconf[+boldface][install_dir]}}:

/home/r00t/{{appconf[boldface]['install_dir']}}:

/home/r00t/{{appconf[boldface][install_dir]}}:

/home/r00t/{{appconf[+taximeter][install_dir]}}:

/home/r00t/{{appconf[taximeter]['install_dir']}}:

/home/r00t/{{appconf[taximeter][install_dir]}}:

/home/r00t/[{'key': 'boldface'}, {'key': 'taximeter'}]:
boldface  taximeter


 
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. 

Thanks,
Juan
