I do something similar in a role by generating a YML file, which gets included later on by include_vars.
This are the includes in the main.yml of the role: - include: generate_vars.yml - include_vars: generated_vars.yml And this is the task in generate_vars.yml: shell: |- exec >generated_vars.yml echo --- output_some_data run_once: true check_mode: false I do the generation just once and disable check_mode to avoid errors by undefined variables during checks, because in check mode shell scripts are not executed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
