help with variable lookup

[Jason Bullen]

I'm a greenhorn...I have this problem where I want the user to input either dev or prod in an env prompt then I take that and access a dictionary to get its custom properties.  it works fine if I hardcode {{ dev.ip }} but if I do a lookup it says variable dev.ip not found.

Also, let me know if there is a better way.  Only gotcha is this if for networking so the target is always localhost and then it does api calls.

- hosts: localhost

gather_facts: no

vars_prompt:

- name: username

prompt: "Username"

- name: password

prompt: "Password"

- name: env

prompt: "Environment"

vars:

prod:

ip: '1.1.1.1'

dev:

ip: '10.130.155.53'

- name: Query tenant customer-xyz

aci_tenant:

host: "{{ lookup('vars', env + '.ip') }}"

#host: "{{ dev.ip }}"

username: "{{ username }}"

password: "{{password}}"

state: present

validate_certs: false

register: my_tenant

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable.

The error was: No variable found with this name: dev.ip\n\nThe error appears to be in '/var/lib/awx/projects/aci-dev/querytenant.yml':

line 19, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n
