Hi,
I've fairly new to Ansible and I've been trying things out with it.
I'm trying to write a simple playbook. As I'd like to have the ability to
[let others] decide what to put in some vars and by following the docs on
vars override rules I came up with something like the following:
roles/
php-composer/
defaults/main.xml
tasks/main.xml
Where defaults/main.xml contains:
---
composer_destination: ./
And one of the tasks in tasks/main.xml contains:
---
- name: install composer to "{{ composer_destination }}"
command: chdir={{ composer_destination }} php installer
when: is_composer_installer_downloaded and
is_composer_installer_downloaded|success
When I run the above, the output is:
TASK: [php-composer | install composer to "{{ composer_destination }}"]
*******
But if I change/move the main.xml from defaults/ to vars/ I get the
variable "expanded", like so:
TASK: [php-composer | install composer to
"/the/directory/specified/in/vars_mainxml/"] *******
Is this expected?
If so, how can I always get a variable "expanded" in the name definition of
a task?
I ask as I'm looking forward to write a reusable and configurable playbook
but I would also like to always have the variable meant to give the
destination directory outputted when performing a run like in the latter
output above.
Thank you in advance,
Walter
