To reproduce: cat templ.yml int1: {{int1}} srt1: {{str1}} dict1: {{dict1}} int1_accessed_by_dict: {{dict1['_int1']}} cat test.yml # test.yml - hosts: localhost vars: int1: 5 str1: "four" dict1: _int1: "{{int1}}" _str1: "{{str1}}" tasks: - debug: msg="{{int1}}" - debug: msg="{{str1}}" - debug: msg="{{dict1}}" - debug: msg="{{dict1['_int1']}}" - name: test templating local_action: template src=templ1.yml dest="{{ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME}}/templ_out.yml" - name: show result local_action: shell cat "{{ANSIBLE_21CT_HOME}}/templ_out.yml" Below is the output.
