Hi! I stumbled onto the following.
While this works: - hosts: all roles: - { role: foo, data: 'bar' } - { role: foo, data: 'zab' } this will fail right away with "value of 'roles:' must be a list": - hosts: all vars: my_data: - { role: foo, data: 'bar' } - { role: foo, data: 'zab' } roles: my_data So it makes a difference if the list of roles is provided verbatim or assigned to a variable first. This is especially surprising as this pattern works well with e.g. "with_items" where the list being looped can be either verbatim or a variable. Is this an intended limitation or a bug? Why do I need this? I want to load the variable from another file using "include_vars".
