merge dicts

Hi,

Seems I am missing something really simple.

ldap_data: |

  {% set ldapdata = {} -%}

  {% if ldap_content is defined -%}

    {{ ldapdata | combine({'a':10}, recursive='True') }}

  {%- endif -%}

 {{ldapdata}}

populates ldap_data with value:

"ldap_data": "{'a': 10}{}\n"

Dont understand why this last {} appears in output ? 

Thanks

Punit

First you set ldapdata to {}, and at the end you say {{ldapdata}}. So that makes sense. 

Thanks

Punit

What do you mean by ‘not working’?

What do you want to achieve?

Here is the thing:

vars:

test_data:

  {% set testdata={} -%}

    {{ tesdata | combine({'a': 10, 'b': 20}, recursive='True') }}

  {{ testdata}}

task:

- name: value of test_data

  debug:

    var=test_data

The output is:

ok: [10.3.12.2] => {

      "test_data" : "{'a': 10, 'b': 20}\n{}\n"

The extra char is something i dont want. I get the feeling I am missing something basic.

Any ideas ?

Regards,

Punit
