ansible host variable not working for file module with content - ansible

Question

My inventory file looks like below
[all]
1.1.1.1 var1=vaule1 app_var2=vaule2
2.2.2.2 var1=vaule3 app_var2=vaule4
My task playbook, to create file if not exists and add content using host variable
- name: "Creating file_with content"
ansible.builtin.file:
path: "path-tofile/.test.txt"
state: touch
content: "app_env=hostvars[inventory_hostname]['var1']"
register: app_env_status
File is created with empty content, can somebody help here, does i am access variable correctly or my task has any issues.

Answer 1

There is no parameter content in the module file. Having run the task below
- file:
path: /tmp/test.txt
state: touch
content: "{{ var1 }}"
you must have seen the error message:
fatal: ... Unsupported parameters for (file) module: content. ...
Instead of file, use the module copy. The task below does the job
- copy:
dest: /tmp/test.txt
content: "{{ var1 }}"
