I have a playbook with several roles. For example, I have an nginx role and
a php role. Each has the typical directory structure. The nginx role has a
template and a task for a virtualhost file that appears like this in the
tasks
- name: "Move virtual host file into place"
template: "src={{item.src}} dest={{item.dest}} mode={{item.mode}}
owner={{ nginx_site_user }} group={{ nginx_site_group }}"
with_items:
- dest: "{{ nginx_sites_available }}/{{ nginx_site_user }}"
src: "{{ nginx_vhost_file_template }}"
mode: 640
notify:
- restart nginx
When I run the nginx role, the variable nginx_vhost_file_template is set to
"default" and the file "roles/nginx/templates/default" exists. This works
fine.
For my PHP role, I simply want to override the nginx_vhost_file_template
variable
to point to a file "phpsitevhost" in the directory
"roles/php/templates/phpsitevhost". The php role includes the file
"meta/main.yml" with the following contents.
---
dependencies:
- { role: nginx }
Based on the documentation
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_roles.html#roles, I would expect
the template call in the nginx role to look in both
"roles/nginx/templates/" and "roles/php/templates/". It's not working this
way and instead I get
TASK [nginx : Move virtual host file into place]
*******************************
failed: [localhost] (item={u'dest': u'/etc/nginx/sites-available/examplewp',
u'src': u'phpsitevhost', u'group': u'examplewp', u'mode': 640, u'owner': u
'examplewp'}) => {"failed": true, "item": {"dest":
"/etc/nginx/sites-available/examplewp", "group": "examplewp", "mode": 640,
"owner": "examplewp", "src": "phpsitevhost"}, "msg": "IOError: [Errno 2] No
such file or directory: u'/home/vagrant/src/phpsitevhost'"}
It appears to only be searching for the file in the directory where the
playbook file is.
How can I get the documented behavior where it would look for the file in
the templates directories for all included roles?
