So, I have a batch of playbooks that include tasks where the filenames are
determined by variables;
- include: tasks/mytask-{{onevar}}-{{anothervar}}.yml
This was working up through ansible 1.7.2. As of ansible 1.8.0 (and also
tested on ansible 1.8.1) this stopped working; the variables are no longer
interpreted, and ansible exits complaining with a message:
1. ERROR: file could not read:
/root/work/playbooks/tasks/bar-{{platform}}.yml
Below are the bits to reproduce:
1. foo.yml:
2. - hosts: slave
3. user: root
4.
5. vars:
6. platform: rpm
7.
8. tasks:
9. - include: "tasks/bar-{{platform}}.yml"
10.
11. tasks/bar-rpm.yml:
12. - name: install OS package dependencies
13. action: yum pkg={{item}} state=installed
14. with_items:
15. - wget
16. - ntpdate
17.
18.
19. hosts.inv:
20. [slave]
21. sc-cluster-20-04
22. sc-cluster-20-05
23. sc-cluster-20-06
The above case works on all ansible versions up through 1.7.2, and breaks
on 1.8.0+. I searched on here a bit regarding this, and found the
suggestion that variables as part of include filenames would only work if
passed in as extra vars, as only those would be resolvable early enough. I
tested that on 1.7.2 by taking out the "vars:" section and passing the
value in as an extra var on the command-line. That test worked on 1.7.2
and earlier, but does not work in 1.8.0+.
Is there any means where this functionality should actually work in 1.8.x?
