My problem is that when I look at thing['inty_var'] in the module it's a
string. that is :
- name: hard coded thingy
parametered_module.py:
thingy:
stringy_var: 'asdf'
inty_var: 3
floaty_var: 123.21
Is correctly interpreted by parametered_module as an int. But when I do
this:
- name: thingy with vars
parametered_module.py:
thingy:
stringy_var: "{{ item['stringy'] }}"
inty_var: "{{ item['inty'] }}"
floaty_var: "{{ item['floaty'] }}"
with_items:
- {'stringy': 'asdf', 'inty': 3, 'floaty': 123.21}
It sees thingy['inty_var'] as '3' and the module assumes it's a string. Is
there a way to force inty_var to an int within ansible?
I also tried: inty_var: "{{ item['inty'] | int }}" but that is still a
string by the time it gets to parametered_module
Thanks for your help!
