ec2_group failed to template

I am having a strange issue

I have a role that looks like the following

roles/ec2_sg/tasks/main

  • name: Create Security Group
    ec2_group:
    profile: “{{ profile }}”
    name: “{{ type }}”
    description: “ports required to communicate to {{ type }}”
    vpc_id: “{{ aws_vpc_id }}”
    region: “{{ aws_region }}”
    rules: “{{ sg_rules }}”

When I have the following playbook it fails with the following error

  • hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: false
    vars_files:

  • group_vars/{{ env }}
    tags:

  • test
    roles:

  • role: ec2_sg
    type: “test”
    sg_rules:

  • proto: tcp
    from_port: 8081
    to_port: 8082
    cidr_ip: “{{ public_cidr }}”

TASK: [ec2_sg | Create Security Group] ****************************************
fatal: [localhost] => Failed to template {% if [{‘to_port’: 8082, ‘from_port’: 8081, ‘cidr_ip’: u’0.0.0.0/0’, ‘proto’: ‘tcp’}] %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}: template error while templating string: expected token ‘,’, got ‘string’

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

but if I do it works.

  • hosts: localhost
    connection: local
    gather_facts: false
    vars_files:
  • group_vars/{{ env }}
    vars:
    type: “test”
    sg_rules:
  • proto: tcp
    from_port: 8081
    to_port: 8082
    cidr_ip: “{{ public_cidr }}”
    tags:
  • test
    roles:
  • role: ec2_sg
    type: “test”

It really makes no sense. Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Appreciate the help in advance.

Cheers,
