Serge, thanks for pointing me to the help.
It seems that group_vars.py plugin runs after my plugin which gives the
wrong precedence for what i need.
Just to close the loop on this thread, my solution was to add self.priority
= 1 in the constructor of VarsModule for my deploy_vars.py plugin and then
this in
lib/ansible/inventory/__init__.py
#self._vars_plugins = [ x for x in
utils.plugins.vars_loader.all(self) ] # original line replaced by the
lines below
# 21ct KB add priority to all deploy_vars to have higher precedence
than group_vars
# higher priority value = higher precedence
unsorted_plugins = [ x for x in utils.plugins.vars_loader.all(self)
if not hasattr(x,'priority')]
sorted_plugins = [ x for x in utils.plugins.vars_loader.all(self)
if hasattr(x,'priority')]
sorted_plugins = sorted(sorted_plugins, key=lambda t:
t.__getattribute__('priority'))
# last in list has highest precedence
self._vars_plugins = (unsorted_plugins or []) + (sorted_plugins or
[])
thanks for your assistance on this.
