The default behavior is to fail if using a variable that is not defined.
There is also a configuration option that disables this, and then you
can use "{{ myvar | mandatory }}" to explicitly have the same effect.
Keep in mind, though, that the failure occurs when reaching a task that
uses an undefined variable. If you want to fail before any task is
executed, you could add another task at the top of your tasks that fails
if a mandatory variable is not defined. For example:
tasks:
- fail: msg="Variable '{{ item }}' is not defined"
when: item not in hostvars[inventory_hostname]
with_items:
- myvariable1
- myvariable2
