When I use ansible\_host in lineinfile module with ansible 2.0, I get ansible\_host=“”. But in debug module, I can get exact host name by ansible\_host. Is it a ansible 2.0 bug?  
Actually, when I used ansible\_ssh\_host with ansible 1.9, it was OK.

My tasks are:

- debug: msg=“ansible\_host is {{ ansible\_host }}”

- name: Configure SonarQube host, context and port.  
lineinfile:  
dest: /usr/local/sonar/conf/sonar.properties  
regexp: “{{ item.regexp }}”  
line: “{{ item.line }}”  
with\_items:

- regexp: “^sonar.web.host”  
line: “sonar.web.host={{ ansible\_host }}”

- regexp: “^sonar.web.port”  
line: “sonar.web.port={{ sonar\_http\_port }}”

- regexp: “^sonar.web.context”  
line: “sonar.web.context={{ sonar\_http\_context }}”

- regexp: “^sonar.search.port”  
line: “sonar.search.port=0”

The tasks result is:

TASK [sonar : debug] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

ok: [controller] =\> {  
“msg”: “ansible\_host is 192.168.33.10”  
}
