I think I found the most weird bug that was driving me crazy, it seems for
some strange reason when you have in your playbook vars_files with the name
based on a variable the ansible_fqdn keeps the old value...
Here are all the steps to reproduce it in ansible 1.7.1 :
create the bellow 3 files exactly as they are (var_test.yml
, inv_test, test.yml) :
1) *var_test.yml* :
TEST: "HELLO"
2) *inv_test* :
[all:vars]
VAR_FILE=var_test
[test]
test
3) *test.yml* :
---
- hosts: localhost
vars_files:
* - "{{ VAR_FILE }}.yml"*
tasks:
- name: show inventory_hostname
debug: msg="inventory_hostname is {{ inventory_hostname }}"
- name: show ansible_fqdn
debug: msg="ansible_fqdn is {{ ansible_fqdn }}"
- name: set ansible_fqdn fact
set_fact: ansible_fqdn={{ inventory_hostname }}
- name: show ansible_fqdn
debug: msg="ansible_fqdn is {{ ansible_fqdn }}"
4) run -> ansible-playbook -i inv_test test.yml -v
if you replace the *- "{{ VAR_FILE }}.yml" *with *- var_test.yml *it will
work
if the *var_test.yml *is empty it will work

N.
