I tried all the suggestions but it did not work.
With the following in my config file:
sp_ver: 2016
and with following code:
sp = ‘abc’
When: sp_ver | int == 2016
sp = ‘def’
When: sp_ver == “2016”
Both variations did not work. Jordan mentioned on the irc channel a nice
solution which was to create dictionary item and then use sp_ver as a lookup
which worked very nicely. But I am really interested for learning purposes why
the above do not work.
Thanks again.

As the guys have mentioned, try removing the {{}}, variables in the when
condition is implicit i think..

i am trying to set a variable based on the value of a variable in the config

here's my config file:
sql_ver: "2012" # available sql versions are: 2008 | 2012 | 2014 | 2016
sp_ver: "2010" # available sp versions are: 2007 | 2010 | 2013 | 2016

sql2k12:

sql2k14: en_sql_server_2014_standard_edition_with_service_pack_2_x64_dvd_8961564
sql2k16: en_sql_server_2016_standard_with_service_pack_1_x64_dvd_9540929
and my ansible file is:
- name: Software Version Selection
hosts: localhost
vars_files:
- testcfg.yml
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "{{sp_ver}}"
- set_fact:
sp : "{{sp2k10}}"
when: "{{sp_ver}} == 2010"
sp : "{{sp2k13}}"
when: "{{sp_ver}} == 2013"
sp : "{{sp2k16}}"
when: "{{sp_ver}} is match(2016)"
- debug:
msg: "{{sp}}"
i have tried many things: "{{sp_ver}} == 2010" , "{{sp_ver}}" == 2010,
"{{sp_ver}} is match(2016)" but nothing worked. i dont know why there is a
syntax error for this: "{{sp_ver}}" is match(2016)
basically what is want is for the selected sp_ver, the proper variable gets
selected.
Thanks in advance
Ali
