Using variables from var_files in serial

[Ruben Oostinga]

Hi,


I am currently upgrading from ansible 1.7 to 1.8 and my current playbooks are not working anymore. I have batch_size defined in a vars_file and I would like to use this as my serial size.

My playbook looks like this:

---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
serial: "{{ batch_size }}"
vars_files:
- params/{{ env }}/params.yml


And the error is:
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '{{ batch_size }}'


I tried also tried using group vars, same issue.

This also works
vars:
batch_size: 2


But this didn't
vars_files:
- params/{{ env }}/params.yml
vars:
batch_size_var: "{{ batch_size }}"

Using the -e flag works but I want to keep the variable next to my other variables in params.yml.

I currently changed everything to serial: 50%, but there should be better solution.


What am I doing wrong?

Anyone?

I am considering posting this as a bug in ansible 1.8.
