I'm a bit confused how variables are defined when using `include_role`. A
basic example follows.
*/play.yml*
- hosts: localhost
roles:
- one
*/roles/one/tasks/main.yml*
---
- name: do a thing with another role
include_role:
name: two
vars:
passed_variable:
- stuff: "{{ lookup('template', 'role_one_template.j2') }}"
*/roles/one/templates/role_one_template_file.j2*
bla bla bla bla
random bit of stuff
does not matter what
*/roles/two/tasks/main.yml*
---
- debug:
var: passed_variable
My expectation is that role "one" will pull the template and pass the
*results* of that lookup to role "two". However, when running the play, I
get first a warning, and then an error. It *seems* as if the template
lookup occurs in role "two". So, what exactly is going on, and how do I
fix it?
