Ansible not loading variables properly

Question

This is my ansible setup hierarchy: 

symfony:
    env: prod
    owner: narayan
    cache_owner: files
    cache_group: files
    deploy_base: /opt/symfony
    keep_count: 2

My yaml file:

deploy.yml:

# ...
  - name: roll forward latest release
    symfony_preload: version="{{ symfony.deploy_version }}" deploy_base="{{ symfony.deploy_base }}"

I'm executing the playbook in the following way:

/usr/bin/ansible-playbook deploy.yml -i inventory/hosts \
    -e deploy_hosts=stg-web \
    -e symfony.deploy_version="$UPSTREAM_BUILD_NUMBER" \
    -e symfony.env="stg"

But ansible isn't loading variables properly. Why?

Answer 1

group_vars/all/main.yml:

symfony:
    env: "{{ ENV }}"
    owner: Narayana
    cache_owner: files
    cache_group: files
    deploy_base: /opt/symfony
    keep_count: 2
    deploy_version: "{{ DEPLOY_VERSION }}"
    deploy_hosts: "{{ DEPLOY_HOSTS }}"

Then call your Ansible like this:

/usr/bin/ansible-playbook deploy.yml -i inventory/hosts \
    -e "DEPLOY_HOSTS=stg-web" \
    -e "DEPLOY_VERSION$UPSTREAM_BUILD_NUMBER" \
    -e "ENV=stg"

Hope this help :)
