Hi all, I have experienced exactly the same issue as reported in these two:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31407 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/36575 In summary something like this... - hosts: "{{ hostvars['localhost']['server_entry_from_cmdb_lookup'] }}" ...actually runs OK, but fails the linter (and therefore our pipeline) 'Using hostvars to smuggle values into play context is not recommended' - this was the last entry from Matt Martz <https://github.com/sivel> Can somebody please explain to me then how one *should* consume a variable containing a target host that has been gleaned from another play (i.e. a data access play to query a CMDB?) The only option I have been able to consider is a '- hosts: all followed by delegate_to: "{{ my_target_server }}" on each task - my play has > 30 tasks and placing a delegate_to an all seems a bit clunky to say the least. Can somebody please advise? Thanks in advance... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
