Hi Wojtek
The error you are getting is due to inconsistent quoting. You may also need
to cast your variable. Try one of these:
- include: some_playbook.yml
when: "{{ some_variable | bool }} == True"
or shorter:
- include: some_playbook.yml
when: "{{ some_variable | bool }}"
See http://docs.ansible.com/YAMLSyntax.html#gotchas and
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#other-useful-filters for
more details.
Regards
Tom
