You cannot import a playbook anywhere inside a play - importing a playbook is a
play of its own.
If you want to run the imported playbook first, try:
- name: this play runs ‘another.yml' on the hosts it defines
import_playbook: another.yml
- name: this play runs two roles on all hosts in the mywebservers group
hosts: mywebservers
gather_facts: yes
roles:
- role: testrole1
tags: testrole1
- role: testrole2
tags: othertag
If you want to run the roles first, reverse the order of the two plays.
You can also review the general documentation on importing and including at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/user_guide/playbooks_reuse.html
<https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/user_guide/playbooks_reuse.html>. You
may want to edit “another.yml” to make it a tasks file instead of a playbook
for greater flexibility.
Hope this helps,
