"ERROR: expecting dict" when trying to define a dictionary in my vars file

Sorry if this is a beginner question, but I am having trouble defining a dictionary of key value pairs in my vars file for one of my roles. My purpose for packaging these pairs instead of just setting them as variables is so that I can cycle through them in my templates. Here is my code:

`

WebLogic Domain Templates

templates:
jrf: “{{ common_home }}/common/templates/applications/jrf_template_11.1.1.jar”
em: “{{ common_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.em_11_1_1_0_0_template.jar”
wsm: “{{ common_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.wsmpm_template_11.1.1.jar”
jrf_async: “{{ common_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.jrf.ws.async_template_11.1.1.jar”
opss: “{{ oim_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.opss_11.1.1.3.0_template.jar”
soa: “{{ soa_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.soa_template_11.1.1.jar”
oim: “{{ oim_home }}/common/templates/applications/oracle.oim_11.1.2.0.0_template.jar”

OIM Config

The error I get is:

ERROR: expecting dict; got: templates, error in /dir/to/vars/file.yml

Nevermind, I figured it out.

The file that I was using to test the vars file was importing it using the “include” task, when I should have actually been using the include_vars module. It tried to open my vars like a file of tasks and gave me this error.
