Hi,
We are creating playbooks for our servers that include creating instances
with rackspace. We have problems with setting up the different inventory
files with the appropriate vars. To illustrate the problem I created a
small test case:
DIR
./a.yml
./b.yml
./test
a.yml contains:
---
- hosts: a
connection: local
remote_user: root
tasks:
- name: Foo
command: echo {{ hostname }}
b.yml contains:
---
- hosts: b
connection: local
remote_user: root
tasks:
- name: Foo
command: echo {{ hostname }}
test contains:
localhost ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/local/bin/python
[a]
localhost
[b]
localhost
[test-a:children]
a
[test-a:vars]
hostname=a.com
[test-b:children]
b
[test-b:vars]
hostname=b.com
When I run ansible-playbook a.yml -i test -vvvv it echos *b.com* while I
expect *a.com*. I expected this because the hosts in a.yml is a and a is a
child of test-a that defines the hostname as *a.com*. For some reason I
don't understand the hostname variable resolves to *b.com*.
What we are trying to achieve with this setup is to create a rackspace
instance using a local connection (a.yml) and that add a host to the test-a
which is then used later in the playbook as host. This fails because it
resolves to the wrong hostname.
What am I doing wrong here? Is there a better setup to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Lars
