Hello,
I have structured my roles such that redistributable roles, such as a role
for installing mariadb, define as many of their variables in
defaults/main.yml as possible. This way, any role that includes that
redistributable role in its meta/main.yml can override that variable with a
custom value by setting it in its vars/main.yml:
roles/mariadb/defaults/main.yml:
> ---
> mysql_password: "password1234"
roles/myserver/meta/main.yml:
> ---
> dependencies:
> - { role: mariadb }
roles/myserver/vars/main.yml:
> ---
> mysql_password: "secretpassword"
Thus, myserver should have mysql_password set to "secretpassword" when it
is run. This has worked well until recently, when it stopped working
completely (possibly when I upgraded to 1.9.x). Now, it seems that a custom
value defined in vars/main.yml does not override a default value in a meta
role. I prefer overriding the variables in vars/main.yml rather than
needing to override them in meta/main.yml because that can become a long,
messy list.
Has variable precedence behavior changed recently, or can anyone explain
why this has stopped working?
Thanks,
Andrew Martin
