Re: [ansible-project] Using include_vars and with_items with optiona files == bug?
Well, this is not include_vars behaviour but 'merge loop results behaviour' that affects all modules as this is result processing. The other part of 'saving intermediate results' would also affect all tasks. I doubt either will change in the future. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] Using include_vars and with_items with optiona files == bug?
I'm falling back to the six tasks for now (three stat file, three include when exists). In my mind this is a bug; the "ignore_errors" setting should let it keep the partial result. The parallel being that the file module could partially succeed in setting a file owner but SELinux or other methods could deny the setting of the file group. But I'll agree to disagree with you on that point. :-) I could see the addition of the "hash_behavior" as an argument to "include_vars" and let it have the option of "keep_partial" as an extension of merge (replace, merge, merge_partial).

Re: [ansible-project] Using include_vars and with_items with optiona files == bug?
The merge setting will affect the result of the task, but not the internal iterator of the task. You might want to make this 3 tasks or use vars_files. -- -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.

Re: [ansible-project] Using include_vars and with_items with optiona files == bug?
I forgot to add that I've defined the hash_behaviour to "merge" just for this express purpose of keeping and stacking/appending variables so the normal behavior is suppose to be modified here.

Re: [ansible-project] Using include_vars and with_items with optiona files == bug?
Well, when you include_vars you are normally overwriting existing vars, this will happen in a with_ loop or outside of it, that is normal behaviour. As for the error wiping out myvars ... the task failed, so none of the work was done. The previously accumulated data in the 2 files that did work is lost as the task ends up not importing any vars as it failed as a whole, even if parts of it succeeded. -- Brian Coca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
