Hi Peter
As Fred says, the variables are not in scope for both plays. You will need
to declare your variables such that both plays can see them. You could put
them into a separate file and reference it with vars_files in both plays,
or you could pass them in as extra vars on the command line. You will not
be able to put them into group_vars/* or host_vars/*, as they are not able
to be resolved at the time the hosts are matched.
Also, you can simplify your role call to
roles:
- { role: webserver, port: port }
(i.e. without interpolating the port var into a string)
Although the port variable will be in scope within the role just by
declaring it in your play, so you can drop it altogether as a role parameter
roles:
- webserver
Regards
Tom
