I want to refactor the following vars file/playbook pair, to avoid hard-coding the app name in the value for log_dir attributes.
--- # some-role-vars.yml some_role_config: - name: app1 log_dir: "/var/log/app1/app1.log" - name: app2 log_dir: "/var/log/app2/app2.log" - name: app3 log_dir: "/var/log/app3/app3.log" # some-playbook.yml - hosts: all become: True gather_facts: True vars_files: - some-role-vars.yml roles: - role: some-role config: "{{ some_role_config }}" Other than using set_fact in a way similar to this, what other approaches (best practices/conventions) are available? - name: Set some_role_config set_fact: some_role_config: "{{ some_role_config|default([]) + [ {'name': item, 'path': '/var/log/' + item + '/' + item + '.log' } ] }}" with_items: - app1 - app2 - app3 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
