I am trying to lookup a secret through Ansible's credstash plugin by first 
setting the variable of the table (since I have multiple credstash tables) 
and then looking it up - , something like this:

    credstash_table: "foo_credstash_{{ bar }}""
    password: "{{ lookup('credstash', 'password', table={{ credstash_table 
}} ) }}"

Somehow, it doesn't seem to like this:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": 
"AnsibleError: 
{{ lookup('credstash', 'password', table={{ credstashtable }} ) }}: 
template error while templating string: expected token ':', got '}'. 
String: {{ lookup('credstash', 'password', table={{ credstashtable }} ) }}"}


I tried this approach:


    credstash_table: "foo_credstash_{{ bar }}""
    password: "{{ lookup('credstash', 'password', table='{{ credstash_table 
}}' ) }}"


Only to get this:

 amazon-ebs: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, 
"msg": "AnsibleError: {{ lookup('credstash', 'password', table='{{ 
credstashtable }}' ) }}: An unhandled exception occurred while running the 
lookup plugin 'credstash'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, 
original message: Encountered exception while fetching password: An error 
occurred (ValidationException) when calling the Query operation: 1 validation 
error detected: Value '{{ credstashtable }}' at 'tableName' failed to satisfy 
constraint: Member must satisfy regular expression pattern: [a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+"}

At the moment, I am using a combination of a bash wrappr script and pipes 
to pull that info. It works, but I am not liking that approach.

What would be the right way to look up the table set as a variable in the 
plugin? Or am I doing it wrong?
