The large difference in use is that filters are referenced as ``variable | filter_name`` while Jinja2 tests are referenced as ``variable is test_name``. + +Jinja2 tests are used for comparisons, whereas filters are used for data manipulation, and have different applications in Jinja2. This change is to help differentiate the concepts for a better understanding of Jinja2, and where each can be appropriately used. + +As of Ansible 2.5 using an Ansible provided Jinja2 test with filter syntax will display a deprecation error. |
