ansible變量類型

背景

不多有人注意到ansible 變量類型的問題，最近工做的時候偶然遇到when條件判斷不生效的問題，才注意到了變量數據類型的問題。
查閱了好多資料後才知道，原來ansible定義變量的時候，還像python同樣有動態數據類型的概念。

直接上示例：

變量的定義

age1是一個int類型的變量，例如：age1: 21
age2是一個string類型的變量,例如：age2: '21'
married和married2是一個布爾類型的變量，例如：married: True 或 married2: true
married3是一個string類型的變量，例如：married3: 'true'

變量類型轉換

age1|string 能夠變int轉換爲string，而後進行比較運算
age2|int 能夠把string轉爲爲int，而後進行比較運算
married|string 能夠把布爾類型轉換爲string，而後進行比較運算。
married2|string 能夠把布爾類型轉換爲string，而後進行比較運算。

    - name: change to string and compare age1 and age2
      debug:

      when: age1|string + age2|string == '2121'

    - name: change to int and compare age1 and age2
      debug:
        msg: "{{ age1}} {{ age2 }}"
      when: age1|int - age2|int == 0

    - name: show the married or not
      debug:
        msg: "married is {{ married }}"
      when: married|string == 'True'

    - name: show the married2 or not
      debug:
        msg: "married2 is {{ married2 }}"
      when: married2|string == 'True'

    - name: show the married3 or not
      debug:
        msg: "married3 is {{ married3 }}"
      when: married3|string == 'true'
