Hello Folks,

Trying to do a basic example for roles for generating configs. I cannot get 
to pass the variable to the tasks. Any help is appreciated. 

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.4.2.0
  config file = /home/cisco/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/home/cisco/.ansible/plugins/modules', 
u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.7.12 (default, Nov 20 2017, 18:23:56) [GCC 5.4.0 
20160609]

$ more roles/router/tasks/main.yml
---
  - name: generate configuration files
    template: src=router.j2 
dest=/home/cisco/ansible/cfgs/{{item.hostname}}.txt
    with_items: " {{ routers }}"


$ more roles/router/vars/mail.yml
---
 routers:
  - { hostname: router-rtr1 }
  - { hostname: router-rtr2 }
  - { hostname: router-rtr3 }
  - { hostname: router-rtr4 }
  - { hostname: router-rtr5 }
  - { hostname: router-rtr6 }
...

$ ansible-playbook config-gen.yml

PLAY [Generate router configuration files]
