I have a common role, which i always want executed, but only once. It is also a dependency of a few other roles that may be executed on their own (via dedicated playbooks).
The problem is: in a top-level playbook, e.g. site.yml, if the common role is listed anywhere (in site.yml or an included playbook), and is also a dependency of any other role, its tasks are executed twice. What I'm thinking is to create a dummy role that depends on 'common', and include the dummy role in the top-level playbook for all hosts. That way, 'common' is *always* a dependency, and is always executed exactly once. Is there a better solution? More generally, how can I avoid executing a role more than once, whether it's listed explicitly or pulled in as a dependency? If a role is a dependency of multiple other roles, it's executed once, but if it's also listed explicitly, it is executed twice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
