If ansible is asked to open a vault file it will always try, if it does not have a password it will fail. There is no way to know if a variable inside the file is used unless you open it and examine it, so we enter the paradox of needing to open the file to find out if we need to open it.
If you know your play won't need those vault files, you should avoid referencing them directly or indirectly to avoid needing a password. ------------- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
