Conditional expression not working properly

[me-kell]

• Cookiecutter: 2.2.1
• Python version: 3.9.2
• Operating System: both on linux and on windows

Description:

I'd expect the conditional {% if cookiecutter.var %} not to be true if the cookiecutter.var is false.

But {% if cookiecutter.var %} produces output no matter if var=False or var=True

What I've run:

$ python3 -m venv /path/to/dir
$ cd /path/to/dir
$ bin/pip install cookiecutter==2.1.1
$ rm -rf mycookiecutter
$ mkdir mycookiecutter
$ mkdir mycookiecutter/\{\{\ cookiecutter.target\ \}\}
$ cat <<'EOF' | tee mycookiecutter/cookiecutter.json
> {
>   "target": "test",
>   "var": false
> }
> EOF

$ cat <<'EOF' | tee mycookiecutter/\{\{\ cookiecutter.target\ \}\}/output
> {% if cookiecutter.var %}
>   conditional expression is true. var is {{ cookiecutter.var }}
> {% else %}
>   conditional expression is false. var is {{ cookiecutter.var }}
> {% endif %}
> EOF

Calling bin/cookiecutter -f mycookiecutter either with var=False or var=True the result is the same

$ bin/cookiecutter -f mycookiecutter && cat test/output
target [test]: 
var [False]: 

  conditional expression is true. var is False

$ bin/cookiecutter -f mycookiecutter && cat test/output
target [test]: 
var [False]: True

  conditional expression is true. var is True
