My simple test case:
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ ansible --version*
ansible 1.9.4
configured module search path = None
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ tree .*
*.*
├── *env*
│ └── *staging*
│ └── *th*
│ ├── hosts
│ └── *host_vars*
│ └── all
├── *host_vars*
│ └── all
└── test_host_vars.yml
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ cat test_host_vars.yml *
- hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- debug: msg="var1={{var1}} var2={{var2}}"
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ cat env/staging/th/hosts*
localhost
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ cat
env/staging/th/host_vars/all *
# variables for all th staging hosts
var1: value1
var2: value2
*ubuntu@ansible-tower-server:~/temp/ansible$ ansible-playbook -i
env/staging/th/hosts test_host_vars.yml *
PLAY [all]
********************************************************************
GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK: [debug msg="var1={{var1}} venture={{venture}} nr_key={{nr_key}}
timezone={{timezone}}"] ***
fatal: [localhost] => One or more undefined variables: 'var1' is undefined
FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
to retry, use: --limit @/home/ubuntu/test_host_vars.retry
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=1
failed=0
So from what I see, host_vars/all does not work even if it's located at
same directory as playbook or same directory as inventory.
>From Ansible: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_inventory.html
*Tip: In Ansible 1.2 or later the group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories
can exist in the playbook directory OR the inventory directory. If both
paths exist, variables in the playbook directory will override variables
set in the inventory directory.*
Is it correct anymore or am I wrong somewhere?
