I have seen others ask for this. Hopefully, there will eventually be a more
elegant method. However, I believe that the only way to do this is, as you
said, use a variable. I do this for debug or testing tasks that I don't
want to run normally, but if I pass -e '{"run_tests":true}' when I run the
playbook they will execute.
#roles/stuff/tasks/main.yml
---
- name: Run Tests (when run_tests is true)
include: tests.yml
when: run_tests|default(false)
and then you can either pass run_tests as an extra-var, or define it in a
playbook:
- name: Testing stuff
hosts: things
vars:
run_tests: true
roles:
- { "role":"stuff", "tags":["logit"] }
or
- name: Testing stuff
hosts: things
roles:
- { "role":"stuff", "tags":["logit"], "run_tests": true }
