Automation

Hi.

I have the following very basic Python script that uses a Jinja template file "scrap.j2" and instead of using a YAML file, I feed variables in the python script directly using a string.

I am unable to successfully load the Jinja template. I get no error, but the result is an empty string.

Here is my Python script

#! /usr/bin/python3

from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader

#load Jinja Template

env=Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader("./"))

my_template = env.get_template("scrap.j2")

#feed variables to the template

result = my_template.render({"user": "lab"})

print(result)

Here is my Jinja file scrap.j2

hello {{ user }}

I expect the script to print "hello lab", but instead it's printing an empty string.

Kindly let me know what I'm doing wrong here.

Many thanks,

Deepak
