the following when condition fails with parsing error.
- name: some task
debug:
msg: "{{ansible_host}}"
when: "({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_xyz in group_names) or ({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_efg in group_names)"
I basically want this task to run if a certain variable is equal to foo and the host belongs to a few certain groups in inventory
The error message
fatal: [x.x.x.x]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The conditional check '({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_xyz in group_names) or ({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_efg in group_names)' failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_xyz in group_names) or ({{somevariable}} == 'foo' and ABC_{{bar}}_efg in group_names)): 'foo' is undefined\n\nThe error appears to be in '/playbooks/playbook.yml': line 23, column 5, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - name: some task\n ^ here\n"}
