merging dictionaries in ansible

Question

I\'m currently building a role for installing PHP using ansible, and I\'m having some difficulty merging dictionaries. I\'ve tried several ways to do so, but I can\'t get it

Answer 1

If you need the merged dictionary a few times, you can set it to a new "variable":

- set_fact: _my_values="{{ my_default_values|combine(my_values) }}"

- debug: msg="{{ item.key }} = {{ item.value }}"
  with_dict: _my_values
