Ansible Community,
I'm using a conditional include statement to call a task file which has a
task that uses a "with_dict" loop. When the include statement conditional
fails, I'd like the task in "option.yml" to be skipped as the task would
result in an error anyway.
When this is run, I get an error "with_dict expects a dict" since there is
no dictionary "groups[{{ grps[2] }}]". Why does Ansible try to evaluate the
task at all since it should be skipped because of the include conditional?
Ideally, there would be a way to use a "with_items" loop with an include
statement, but I am aware that that is intentionally not allowed.
(Note: I know this is a terrible example of how/when to use an include
statement, but it shows the gist of how the error occurs. My actual usage
is much more complicated.)
