Thanks, flowerysong
Did you actually try that?
When I use that, I get the same error as before: An error occurred
(InvalidParameterValue) when calling the DescribeInstances operation: The
filter 'GroupName' is invalid
("GroupName" is the value in my variable tag_name)
If you actually TRIED it and it worked, do let me know.
Here are some things that do not work:
# "{{ { tag_name: tag_value } }}"
# "{{ '\"tag:' + tag_name + '\"' }}" : "{{tag_value }}"
# "{{ 'tag:' + tag_name }}" : "{{tag_value }}"
# tag: "{{ tag_name + ':' + tag_value }}"
# tag:"{{ tag_name + ':' + tag_value }}"
# "{{ tag_name }}" : "{{tag_value }}"
The second last one (no space after the first colon) gives a different
message: "argument filters is of type <type 'str'> and we were unable to
convert to dict: dictionary requested, could not parse JSON or key=value"}
These work - but they have a literal filter name
# "tag:GroupName" : "DEMO"
# "tag:GroupName" : "{{tag_value }}"
Thanks, K.
PS: There was a typo in my last message. I meant to write "... at least in
the case of 'tag:Name'"
