I have a role like below, that typecasts item.payment to an int. However this appears to be converted back to a string. Ansible throws this error “msg: value of payment_term must be one of: 1,12,24, got: 1” because it was not a valid int. At the moment this is breaking the linode module or any module that relies on an int with choices.
- name: setup linode
linode:
name: ‘{{ item.name }}’
state: ‘{{ item.state | default(“present”) }}’
payment_term: ‘{{ item.payment | int | default(1) }}’
api_key: ‘{{ linode_api_key }}’
with_items: linode_servers
register: linode_response
I think this may be related to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/5463
It seems others are having the same issue with bools, but the ticket has not received any official response.
