Using variables for module parameter names.

[David Blackburn]

I am trying to build a configuration file of default services, the service command doesn't seem read the variables until the section is executed so I have to prefix the variables with enable/state etc.  Is this expected and are there any ways around this?

Thanks

services:

    default:

     ntpd: enabled=yes

-   name: Default services

#    debug: msg="name={{ item.key }} {{ item.value }}"

    service: name={{ item.key }} {{ item.value }}

    with_dict: "{{ services.default }}"

TASK [services : Default services] *********************************************

failed: [localhost] => (item={'value': u'enabled=yes', 'key': u'ntpd'}) => {"failed": true, "item": {"key": "ntpd", "value": "enabled=yes"}, "msg": "Neither 'state' nor 'enabled' set"}

When using debug it produces the expected results.

TASK [services : Default services] *********************************************

ok: [localhost] => (item={'value': u'enabled=yes', 'key': u'ntpd'}) => {

    "item": {

        "key": "ntpd",

        "value": "enabled=yes"

    },

    "msg": "name=ntpd enabled=yes"

}
