Hi Brian, Please excuse me if I am wrong but the problem with using the same ordering and role name in plays is that unless you can provide a scope such as play#.task_name then how do you apply a play preceded by another play with the same starting role. And there are times I have to apply the same role to different hosts according to some orders of execution and then I need to go back and fix things starting a play.
--list-tasks play #2 (host1): setup abc ..... play #3 (host3): setup abc .... If I used --start-at-task "setup abc" then how would I be able to achieve my goal as to start at play #3 and not play #2. Certainly Ansible can still apply all tasks in play #2 and that could be ok in some cases but when I want to save times or just to apply changes to hosts in starting at a specific play and avoid commenting out all previous plays up to the play I want to start with then would your suggestion work? Thanks, Steven.
