Notionally yes, but ansible doesn't seem to like variables in - include:
statements.
Does ansible do 'include' before 'gather_facts' perhaps ?????
If so, that would be a pretty major bug/misfeature to me...
Here's an example that shows the problem.
- hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- debug: msg="{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{
ansible_distribution_version }}.yml"
- include: "{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{ ansible_distribution_version
}}.yml"
Running that trivial playbook fails:
ERROR: file could not read: /tmp/{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{
ansible_distribution_version }}.yml
But if you try to debug only (after commenting out the include: line) the
fact collection works ok:
PLAY [all]
********************************************************************
GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [192.168.0.169]
TASK: [debug msg="{{ ansible_distribution }}-{{
ansible_distribution_version }}.yml"] ***
ok: [192.168.0.169] => {
"msg": "Debian-7.8.yml"
}
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
192.168.0.169 : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
I tried similar things setting variables, custom facts, etc. to no avail.
Seems like ansible includes first as it does its runs (???)
