Try the join filter {{ layer.bgcolor | join(' ') }}. It is fruitless to apply
the list
filter to a list :-).

Re: [ansible-project] Convert list to string in rendered Jinja template
Hi
You can find all about Jinja filters here
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_filters.html
But you can convert a list to a string using
{{ list | join(" ") }}
This will add a space between each element. I am not sure if that is what
you need.

[ansible-project] Convert list to string in rendered Jinja template
I have a variable files like below:
layers:
- name: APP
things:
- cactus
- lotus
- jasmine
- rose
bgcolor:
- sky blue
- name: WAS
things:
- mango
- apple
bgcolor:
- yellow
Below is my jinja template file:
{% for layer in layers %}
{% for item in layer.things %}
{{ item }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
I run this with the below playbook:
---
- name: Demonstrating variables in Jinja2 Loops
hosts: localhost
connection: local
vars_files:
- vars.yml
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Create the Jinja2 based templateone
template: src=./varloop_new.j2 dest=./output.txt
The output recieved has a problem.
Output.txt:
-bash-4.2$ cat output.txt
cactus
lotus
jasmine
rose
mango
apple
It displays bgcolor="[u'sky blue']" instead of bgcolor="sky blue"
How can I convert the list to a string in the jinja template.
