casting to bool not working

Hi,

I’ve got a dict value that is supposed to evaluate a boolean parameter like so:

var1: False
var2: True

my_dict:

  • {a1: “{{ var1|bool }}”}
  • {a2: “{{ var2|bool }}”}

However the original True/False values always get evaluated as strings eventually, typecasting doesn’t seem to be working. I’m on ansible 1.9.3.

Output from debug

ok: [host1] => (item={‘a1’: u’False’})
