executing command within --extra-vars

[sushant kode]

Hello,

We are using mozilla sops to encrypt our ansible secrets and I want to decrypt the file on the go, something like 

ansible --extra-vars "@<$(sops -d secrets.yaml)"

But ansible doesn't support executing a command within the 'extra-vars'.

The workaround currently I am using is

sops -d secrets.yaml > /tmp/secrets

ansible --extra-vars "@/tmp/secrets"

rm /tmp/secrets

Is there a way to execute a command within the 'extra-vars' ? 

Thanks,

Sushant
