jinja2 loop and fact array

[Trond Hindenes]

I'm sorry if this has come up before - I couldn't find any answers directly related to my question.

I'm trying to use set_fact to set an array and use that in a for loop inside a template file.

In my playbook I have: 

set_fact: av_name="['av1', 'av2', 'av3']"

And in my template file I'm testing with:

{% for item in av_name %}

"this": "{{ item }}"

{% endfor %}

Here's my templated file - jinja2 doesn't seem to understand the array:

"this": "["

"this": "'"

"this": "a"

"this": "v"

"this": "1"

"this": "'"

"this": ","

"this": " "

"this": "'"

"this": "a"

"this": "v"

"this": "2"

"this": "'"

"this": ","

"this": " "

"this": "'"

"this": "a"

"this": "v"

"this": "3"

"this": "'"

"this": "]"

Hopefully I'm doing something wrong!

set_fact:
av_name: ['av1', 'av2', 'av3']

or

{% for item in av_name|list %}
