I am not sure if its my misuse of jinja within ansible, but I am seeing
strange behavior from what would seem to be a typical use case for managing
dynamic variables. As you can see from the code below, I am using the
mysql_os variable to determine the list to select items from. This may be
the intended behavior, but I swear I have done this in the past. I tested
on 2.3, and 2.2 with the same results.
---
- hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars:
mysql_os: "el6"
mysql_el6_base:
- "MySQL-server-{{ mysql_os }}"
mysql_el7_base:
- "mysql-community-server-{{ mysql_os }}"
tasks:
- debug: msg="{{ item }}.x86_64.rpm"
with_items:
- "{{vars['mysql_' + mysql_os + '_base']}}"
Expected Result
TASK [debug]
******************************************************************************************************************
******
ok: [localhost] => (item=MySQL-server-el6) => {
"item": "MySQL-server-el6",
"msg": "MySQL-server-el6.x86_64.rpm"
}
Actual Result
TASK [debug]
******************************************************************************************************************
******
ok: [localhost] => (item=MySQL-server-{{ mysql_os }}) => {
"item": "MySQL-server-{{ mysql_os }}",
"msg": "MySQL-server-{{ mysql_os }}.x86_64.rpm"
}
Thanks
