I want to include another Jinja2 template in an Ansible context in Jinja2

Question

I have an Ansible playbook that sets a lot of variables. One the playbooks has this task:

- name: create config file 
  template:
    src: \'templates/main_c         


        

Answer 1

You don't need to open a Jinja2 expression ({{ ... }}) to refer to a variable inside a statement ({% ... %}). You can use the variable name directly:

{% include './templates/' + job + '_steps.j2' %}
