I am setting test_err to 'yes' via set_fact:
below is playbook details:
######
- hosts: jump
remote_user: deploy
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- set_fact: test_err=yes
- debug: var=test_err
- debug: var=test_err
ignore_errors: "{{ test_err }}"
####
output of above playbook:
######

Reason we are trying to use ignore_errors via variable is because we are
using our own module to run 'cucumber' tests in a role, we want to give
control via variable weather to stop execution upon failures to the role
user. Because in case tests are run in CI ( via jenkins) we want jenkins
plugin to compile results, for command line users, ansible console we will
have control.
I hope this clarifies.
Thanks,
Yasir.
