converting string to integer in ansible - json

Question

In ansible i am running a role to create retention rules for some projects. using PUT method i stored results in register module, from that i am trying to read retention_id: "59" and project_id: "80" i need this as integer like 59 and 80 , but it is taking as string to the field but i need it as integer. i tried to change that by using "{{ item.project_id | int }}"
and {{ item.metadata.retention_id | int}}
it was not changed to integer, i tried to converted the yaml body to JSON for luck. still i am getting the error.
i got struck with this task since one week . please provide any solution to get out of this.
your response will be appreciated. Thank you
actual playbook:

with this i was getting this error:

Answer 1

Wow, what a fascinating rabbit hole :-(
So, there is an existing issue reporting that behavior, but it was closed "works-as-designed," along with some nonsense about configuring jinja2 in some incompatible way
As best I can tell from running a bunch of experiments, manually crafting that JSON payload is the only safe way:
body_format: json
body: >-
{{
(
{
"algorithm": "or",
"id": item.metadata.retention_id | int,
"rules": [
{
"action": "retain",
"params": {
"latestPushedK": 3
},
"scope_selectors": {
"repository": [
{
"decoration": "repoMatches",
"kind": "doublestar",
"pattern": "**"
}
]
},
"tag_selectors": [
{
"decoration": "matches",
"kind": "doublestar",
"pattern": "**"
}
],
"template": "latestPushedK"
}
],
"scope": {
"level": "project",
"ref": item.project_id | int
},
"trigger": {
"kind": "Schedule",
"settings": {
"cron": "0 0 * * * *"
}
}
}
) | to_json }}
when: "item.registry_id is defined"
I wish I had a better explanation as to what is going on, but given the response to that issue, I'm not super sure they even consider your experience to be a bug
But for clarity, what is happening here is that those leading brace characters inside the () are python dict literals, which is why the "id": item.metadata.retention_id | int, doesn't need any special consideration -- both sides of that are python (err, jinja2, but same-same)
The () are likely not strictly necessary, but do make it super obvious what is being fed into the | to_json filter
Then, the outer {{ are the jinja2 delimiters that you're used to, in order to have all that inner jinja2 code run, and the body: >- is to get us out of yaml quoting hell
