I think that's the issue I reported here:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/11996

Initially closed as a "possible misunderstanding", then acknowledged as broken on 1.9 and fixed on 2.0, then broken again on 2.0, and the issue was left closed. Seems pretty clear to me that it's not the wanted behavior.

Hello, experts.
Let me ask you about weird behavior between include_vars and role variable.

I have a couple of roles, "test_before" and "test_after"
|
.
`-- test_before
    |-- tasks
    |   `--main.yml
`-- vars
        `--RedHat.yml
|--test_after
||--tasks
||`-- main.yml
|   `--vars
|`-- main.yml

|


First role reads OS specific variables.
Main task file and OS specific variable file follow.

test_before/tasks/main.yml
|
---
-name:Addthe OS specific variables
  include_vars:"{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"


-debug:message="{{item}}"
  with_items:packages
|


test_before/vars/RedHat.yml
|
---
packages:
-alpha
-bravo
|



On the otherhand, second role reads role's main.yml like following.

test_after/tasks/main.yml
|
---
-debug:message="{{item}}"
  with_items:packages

|

test_after/vars/main.yml
|
---
packages:
-yankee
-zulu
|



I intended running those roles displays "alpha, bravo" from first role, then "yankee, zulu" from second role, but both role display "alpha, bravo", just like second role didn't read vars/main.yml.

Is my intention wrong or there's something else I should've look after?
Thank you.
