date time

[Marcel de Vries]

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - debug:

        var: hostvars['localhost']['ansible_date_time']['iso8601']

ok: [localhost] => {
    "hostvars['localhost']['ansible_date_time']['iso8601']": "2022-07-22T10:28:46Z"

However:

---
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
    - debug:

         var:  hostvars['localhost']['ansible_date_time']['iso8601']

      register: date_time

    - debug:

         msg: "{{ ( (date_time).total_seconds() / 3600 ) | int }}"

does not work.
This is because the difference in variable:

 "2022-07-22T10:28:46Z" must be  2022-07-22T10:28:46Z without quotes.

How can I do that?

What do you mean by "does not work"?
What do you expect to happen?
I.e. what are you trying to do/calculate?

If you need the number of second since epoch, then that is already
available as ansible_date_time.epoch_int

I want to compare two date times and get the difference in seconds.
