Solved. This was a syntax problem.
This works
# file: site.yml
- hosts: all
include: rails-servers.yml
# file: rail-servers.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- mysql
- ruby
- memcached
This does not work
# file: site.yml
- hosts: all
include: rails-servers.yml
roles:
- statsd
- app
# file: rail-servers.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- mysql
- ruby
- memcached
When I do this, the roles in rails-servers.yml (mysql / ruby / memcached)
are executed but the roles in site.yml (statsd / app) are silently ignored.
Solved it by changing the syntax to
# file: site.yml
- include: rails-servers.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- statsd
- app
# file: rail-servers.yml
- hosts: all
roles:
- mysql
- ruby
- memcached
This is not clearly explained in the documentation. Btw I think there was
some misunderstanding of terminology in the original
email. I was using include at play level but at playbook level.
