YAML variable without using quotes?

[RobL]

I'm hitting this error:

We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with

missing quotes.  Always quote template expression brackets when they

start a value. For instance:

    with_items:

      - {{ foo }}

Should be written as:

    with_items:

      - "{{ foo }}"

The problem is that I'm converting the YAML to JSON, and I need the value (a number) to be unquoted in the JSON.

Is there any way I can avoid this error without quoting, or is there some way to remove the quotes when it's converted to JSON?

 "{{foo|int}}" should return a number

No, I'm still seeing the value being quoted:

        instances: "{{ groups['workers']|count|int }}"

becomes:

       "instances": "3",

I'm still seeing the same issue on Ansible 2.0.0.2.

Brian, can you point me to the commit that should be fixing this bug?

Thanks!
