Problem: Cannot read vars from a json or yaml file

[dev-at-webid-solutions-dot-de]

Issue

Hi,
it is not possible to pass variables to ansible-playbook with -e @file.yml or -e @file.json as descripted in the official ansible docs.
This special syntax cannot be used in the extra variables section of an environment, because this expects a key-value pair.
I tried to specify it as a -e @le***/***.yml cli-argument in a task, but it doesn't work.
I took a look at the log and maybe found the reason. A blank is added before the at-sign (@), which maybe prevent the right intepretation by ansible, which normally would transform such an argument into an absolute path, if possible. See attached image

Kind regards
