Hey,
i am working on a infrastructure that is completely managed by ansible
(great tool btw). we are currently in the process of adding different
environments (production, prelive ...) and we hit a problem that i need
help with to understand whats going wrong here.
we have a group_vars file "all" which contains most of the configuration
and then each role / environment overrides any needed variables via it's
hostfile or a custom yml provided via -e on the command line.
group_vars/all:
search_domain: search.example.com
search_domains:
- { domain : 'search.example.com', aliases : [] }
custom.yml (which is loaded via -e on the command line)
search_domain: prelive.search.example.com
search_domains:
- { domain : 'prelive.search.example.com', aliases : [] }
As far is understand variable precedence the custom.yml values are
overriding the values from all. this is somewhat wokring as intended.
Now come the thing i don't seem to understand. Given this playbook:
---
- name: Installs or updates servers
hosts: search
roles:
- common
- search
sudo: yes
tasks:
- include: roles/common/tasks/apache/add-vhost.yml
vars:
domains: "{{search_domains}}"
I would expect that inside app-vhost.yml the variable domains has the
contents of custom.yml. but it doesn't. to get a clearer picture on whats
going on i added those debug statements to the add-vhosts.yml
- debug: var= search_domains
- debug: var=domains
And guess what... the first debug show the correct content from custom.yml
and the second one the contents from the group_vars/all.
What am i doing wrong here?
cheers
Chris
