Faced the same issue in my project. It turns out that the variable name in the playbook and the task have to be different. — – name: The name hosts: all vars: my_var_play: “I need to send this value to the task” some_other_var: “This is directly accessible in task” tasks: – include:my_tasks.yml vars: my_var: “{{ … Read more
I think you may have “restart docker” listed before “daemon reload” in your handlers file. That part of the ansible documentation is a bit misleading. It means that handlers are executed in the order they are written in the handlers file, not the order they are notified. This is little more clear in the documentation: … Read more
FUBAR=”{{ ( PREFIX + ‘_’ + CNAME + VERSION ) | replace(‘.’,”) }}” Resolving a few problems: too many ‘{{}}’s need quotes around the whole expression the replace will only act on the last element unless it is all surrounded by ‘()’s
Deprecation Notice: This post doesn’t work as of Ansible 2. The API was changed. This is covered in the Ansible documentation under “Python API.” For example, ansible -i hosts dbservers -m setup is implemented via: import ansible.runner runner = ansible.runner.Runner( module_name=”setup”, module_args=””, pattern=’dbservers’, ) dbservers_get_facts = runner.run() There are a bunch of non-documented parameters in … Read more
Don’t use shell-module when there is specialized modules available. In your case: Create directories with file-module: – name: create project directory {{ common.project_dir }} file: state=directory path={{ common.project_dir }} Download files with get_url-module: – name: download sources get_url: url={{ opencv.url }} dest={{ common.project_dir }}/{{ opencv.file }} Note the new module call syntax in the examples … Read more

I managed to find an easy alternative: – debug: msg=”{{item}}” with_lines: cat files/branches.txt
Use find module to filter the files and then process the resulting list: – name: Get files on remote machine find: paths: /path/on/remote register: my_find – debug: var: item.path with_items: “{{ my_find.files }}”
You’re confusing the structure a bit. The group_vars directory contains files for each hostgroup defined in your inventory file. The files define variables that member hosts can use. The inventory file doesn’t reside in the group_vars dir, it should be outside. Only hosts that are members of a group can use its variables, so unless … Read more
