Sorry Michael, I will try to be more clear.
I am running Ansible 1.7.1 currently.
So my original site.yml is this:
$ cat site.yml.orig
---
- include: dept1-servers.yml
- include: dept2-servers.yml
- include: base-static-setup.yml
...which works fine.
The one producing the traceback is this:
$ cat site.yml.bad
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
# Set up OS-specific groups
- group_by:
key=os-{{ansible_distribution}}-{{ansible_distribution_version}}
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"
include:
- dept1-servers.yml
- dept2-servers.yml
- base-static-setup.yml
I also tested the following:
$ cat site.yml.test1
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
# Set up OS-specific groups
- group_by:
key=os-{{ansible_distribution}}-{{ansible_distribution_version}}
- include: am-servers.yml
- include: stor-servers.yml
- include: base-static-setup.yml
Which ran fine as well, so it must be the following block that is causing
the fault:
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"
include:
- dept1-servers.yml
- dept2-servers.yml
- base-static-setup.yml
All I am trying to do is to make the included playbooks run only for
machines with the specified OS, if I specify the target OS on the
ansible-playbook command line via the ' -e "distro=os-Fedora-20"' variable
construct you gave me. That way I can always target a subset of my
specified inventory by OS, if I want to run certain plays (say those with a
specific tag) only against member servers with the specified OS. Otherwise,
if I don't pass an " -e distro=<whatever>" variable, it will target all
members of the inventory. Make sense?
