[ansible-project] not able to reference fact for network interface in the template

Hmm, can we see a full playbook so we can understand a bit more in context?

template/relayd.yml.j2:


# {{ ansible_managed }}
#

#
# Macros
#
carp0_ip="{{ ansible_carp0["ipv4"]["address"] }}"
webhost="{{ web_server }}"

#
# Global Options
#

interval 10
log updates
prefork 5
timeout 3000

...
# more in the relayd.conf.j2 file, is removed

the web_server comes from variable file, but the carp0_ip is pulled from
facts when the play is run
as user ansible, using sudo


and the play file: task/main.yml:


---
# file: roles/proxy_server/tasks/main.yml


# carp0 interface
- name: carp0 interface file
   template: src=hostname.carp0.j2 dest=/etc/hostname.carp0 owner=root
group=wheel mode=0640

- name: install relayd.conf
   template: src=relayd.conf.j2 dest=/etc/relayd.conf owner=root group=wheel
mode=0644
   notify:
   - restart relayd

- name: start relayd
   service: name=relayd state=started

# EOF

   Also one more time the snipet of the command: ansible proxy_server -m
setup (the original file was not complete(damaged))

  Thank you for your replay.
after farther testing i was able to reproduce the error
the error only shows on BSD system (Open, Free)

sample host file:

# ansible host file
#
# testing

openbsd_host ansible_ssh_host=owaa
linux_host ansible_ssh_host=metis
freebsd_host ansible_ssh_host=hosta

[linux_servers]
linux_host

[openbsd_servers]
openbsd_host

[freebsd_servers]
freebsd_host

[freebsd_servers:vars]
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python2

[openbsd_servers:vars]
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python

[linux_servers:vars]
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python



sample play file:

---
# test.yml

- hosts: linux_host
   remote_user: gregm

   tasks:
   # name: address (frrebsd and openbsd replace with em0 ans nic)
   - debug: msg={{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}



when the play is run against linux box:


PLAY [linux_host]
*************************************************************

GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [linux_host]

TASK: [debug msg={{ansible_eth0.ipv4.address}}]
*******************************
ok: [linux_host] => {
"msg": "192.168.0.7"
}

PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
linux_host : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0




but when run against any of the BSD system:


PLAY [openbsd_host]
***********************************************************

GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [openbsd_host]

TASK: [debug msg={{ansible_em0.ipv4.address}}]
********************************
ok: [openbsd_host] => {
"msg": "{{ansible_em0.ipv4.address}}"
}

PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
openbsd_host : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0


i hope it will help

Thank you
Greg
