(I created a SO question about this but maybe it would be better to ask here -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21972208/how-do-i-create-a-variable-shared-by-a-number-of-tasks-in-a-role-in-ansible) I am creating a task file in an Ansible role using the best practice directory layout<http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_best_practices.html#directory-layout> e.g. myscripts/roles myscripts/roles/the_role myscripts/roles/the_role/tasks myscripts/roles/the_role/tasks/main.yml In main.yml, I need to call a number of Java tasks so I have to specify the classpath each time e.g. - name: java | Do something with Bar Java class action: command java -cp A.jar:B.jar:C.jar com.example.Bar myargs - name: java | Do something with Foo Java class action: command java -cp A.jar:B.jar:C.jar com.example.Foo myOtherargs so I would to use a variable to replace A.jar:B.jar:C.jar I have been looking at the documentation<http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html> and this blog post<http://jpmens.net/2012/08/30/ansible-variables-variables-and-more-variables/>. It seems possible to make a variable that is associated with a host or a group of hosts. However this variable should be associated with a task - how do I do that? You can do it in a Playbook<https://github.com/ansible/ansible-examples/blob/master/language_features/get_url.yml> but I can't get it to work because I have split the Playbook into roles<http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_best_practices.html#directory-layout> ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
