I have this role (roles/dummy/tasks/main.yml) : --- - debug: var=dum_name
and this playbook (test.yml) : --- - hosts: localhost vars: name: "{{ foo_name | default('boom') }}" tasks: - debug: var=name roles: - { role: dummy, dum_name: "{{ name }}" } If I define a variable "foo_name=bar" in the inventory file for localhost , I get this output : TASK: [dummy | debug var=dum_name] ******************************************** ok: [localhost] => { "var": { "dum_name": "boom" } } TASK: [debug var=name] ******************************************************** ok: [localhost] => { "var": { "name": "bar" } } In the dummy task, I expected : "dum_name": "bar" . In a real application, I need to use several times a same role with different parameters. A simple way to get the same thing is : ... roles: - { role: dummy, dum_name: "{{ foo_name | default('boom') }}" } but the problem is the same : I get "boom" in the result instead of "bar" . What is the solution/workaround ? Regards, Fabien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
