Ansible default value not reached when using variable concatenation

my_var: "{{ url_var+'/' | default(default_url_var) }}"

I have the above code but when I run it, it errors out when url_var is not set saying 'url_var' is undefined.

I want the default value to be taken if url_var is not defined.

I believe whats going on is that as there is a string concatenation, it fails to append the values and the default can never be reached.

How I can I solve this issue? And is that the issue?

With the concatination, the resulting string will always have at least `/`, so will never be empty and so never use the default. – Jack Mar 13 '20 at 13:39

=> `my_var: "{{ url_var | default(default_url_var) }}/"` – Zeitounator Mar 13 '20 at 14:44
