I am using python jinja2 to render some json files for CI/CD. These files will be used by application which are written in GoLang.

variables are defined a yaml files & loaded using pyymal. For example..

template

{ 
"enable_log": {{ enable_log}}  
}

variable file:

---
us-east-2:
 dev:
    enable_log: true 
 prod:
    enable_log: false

The result is as following

{ "enable_log": True }

code snippet:

template_env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(cfg_dir), trim_blocks=True,
                                           lstrip_blocks=True, undefined=StrictUndefined)

source_template = template_env.get_template(cfg_template)

config_data = yaml.load(open(VARS))

with open(out_file, 'w') as f:
    data = source_template.render(config_data[region][env])
    f.write(data)

I know python booleans are True & False. But the application code(Golang) is not loading that as boolean. Is there any workaround in the pyyaml to fix this problem?

This is fixed. Solution is to use the yaml.BaseLoader

config_data = yaml.load(open(VARS), Loader=yaml.BaseLoader)
