The answer at http://serverfault.com/a/695798 helped me figure out that it needed to be quoted. quote your test expressions and you get the output you expected: # ansible --version ansible 1.9.6 configured module search path = None # ansible -m debug -a msg="'{{hostvars[inventory_hostname]}}'" localhost | success >> { "msg": "{'inventory_hostname': '127.0.0.1', 'group_names': ['ungrouped'], 'inventory_hostname_short': '127'}" } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
