Add quotes to elemens of the list in jinja2 (ansible)

Question

I have very simple line in the template:

ip={{ip|join(\', \')}}

And I have list for ip:

ip:
 - 1.1.1.1
 - 2.2.2.2
 - 3.3.3.         


        

Answer 1

try:

- hosts: localhost
  tags: s20
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    ip:
      - 1.1.1.1
      - 2.2.2.2
      - 3.3.3.3
    joined_ip: "'{{ \"', '\".join(ip)}}'"
  tasks:
  - debug: msg="(ip={{joined_ip}})"

PS: ansible supports a bit of python code execution within {{}}, which is what i'm misusing here.

Answer 2

Following worked for me

('{{ iplist | join('\',\'') }}')

Ex:

Inventory

[ips]
1.1.1.1
2.2.2.2
3.3.3.3

#cat temp.sh.j2 

 "ips": (ip='{{ groups['zoo'] | join('\',\'') }}') 

result:

#cat temp.sh

 "ips": (ip='1.1.1.1','2.2.2.2','3.3.3.3')

Hope it would help someone.
