You are setting test_err to the *string* yes, but ingore_errors is
looking for a boolean expression. Also, you don't need to using the
"{{ }}" syntax in ignore_errors since it is already using jinja2. Try
using the "bool" filter:
- hosts: jump
remote_user: deploy
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- set_fact: test_err=yes
- debug: var=test_err
ignore_errors: test_err | bool
