When specifying true/ false for ansible playbook variables sometimes error can be occurred during runtime example:
“item”: {
“name”: “my_item”,
“value”: “true”
},
“msg”: “true isn’t a bool”
}Solution
Pass variable to ansible playbook util you need to specify: True with capital T and -e with Apostrophes
ansible-playbook -e “my_item=True”
