Trying to do something that seems straightforward but can't work out why
its failing.
I'm simply trying to pass a random server within a group whose name is
supplied at execution time to a task using "delegate_to" and
"--extra-vars" but it doesn't like it i.e
delegate_to: {{ groups.v_grp | random }}
>
>
followed by:
ansible-playbook playbook.yml --extra-vars="{{ v_grp=testgrp }}"
Execution throws up the below error.
fatal: [machine1]: FAILED! => {"msg": "'dict object' has no attribute
'v_grp'"}
The group does exist and the playbook actually executes when the group name
testgrp is hard coded. Unfortunately, the idea is to be able to pass group
names in dynamically at runtime
I've trawled through the web for any hints around getting this working but
there's been no luck. The closes I found was a suggestion on another
thread (dated 2014) but it didn't work either

I'm assuming this is definitely possible in ansible?
Thanks
