Hello list,
I need to understand following variable precedence problem.
I have an inventory file with following group hierarchy:
# inventory file
host1
host2
[group1]
host1
host2
[group11:children]
group1
[group12:children]
group1
In the group_var files of group *group11* and *group12, *a variable *var*
is defined with different value:
# content of group_vars/group11
var: "group11"
# content of group_vars/group12
var: "group12"
Furthermore, I have two playbooks that evaluate the variable *var *. One
playbook is for the host group *group11* and the second playbook is for
*group12*
#content of playbook site-group11.yml
- hosts: group11
tasks:
- debug: var=var
#content of playbook site-group12.yml
- hosts: group12
tasks:
- debug: var=var
When I run both playbooks, I get the following output from both:
< TASK: debug var=var >
---------------------
\ ^__^
\ (oo)\_______
(__)\ )\/\
||----w |
|| ||
ok: [host1] => {
"var": {
"var": "group12"
}
}
ok: [host2] => {
"var": {
"var": "group12"
}
}
This output is ok for the playbook site-group12.yml. But my expectation is
that the variable *var* has the value *group11* in playbook site-group11.yml
.
So my question, why my expectation is wrong?
Best regards,
Sandra
