I have a similar problem but the solution doesn't seem to apply.
I have multiple plays in a single playbook, but all the plays are on
localhost. A fact set in one play does not seem to be available in other
plays, because the hostname is "localhost" for all of them! Is there anyway
to distinguish between such plays?
Here's a very simple proof of concept :-)
---
# Test variable access across multiple plays on local host
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- set_fact:
local_var: "this"
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- set_fact:
local_var: "this"
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: false
tasks:
- debug:
var: hostvars['localhost']
The only facts output by the final debug statement are those in the current
play. Is there any way to reference the variables in the earlier plays? For
example, is there some way to provide an "alias" for a host in the "hosts"
declaration?
Regards, K.
