This Bug Report affects these Traffic Control components:

• Automation (Ansible)

Current behavior:

If one of the cachegroups as defined in dl_ds_merged_cachegroups contains fallbackToClosest set to either true or false, an error will be seen when the playbook is executed:

HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field TOCacheGroup.fallbackToClosest of type bool

The template file within the dataset loader role named cachegroup.j2 is quoting the value instead of sending in to TO as a bool.

Expected behavior:

The cachegroup should be added with fallbackToClosest set to a boolean as per your dl_ds_merged_cachegroups dict

Steps to reproduce:

Define dl_ds_merged_cachegroups with a fallbackToClosest variable set to true

dl_ds_merged_cachegroups:
  - name: multi-site-org-east
