Hi
sorry for late response. Actually, I have found a way that works for me,
and I hope can help others looking for the same thing. I found this
solution elsewhere on the Internet as well. Basically, it seems hosts
cannot take in a variable that is just defined, so the way around this is
to have hosts reference a dynamic group, and then have the inputted
hostname be added to the group via the add_hosts task
---
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars_prompt:
- name: var_hostname
prompt: "Enter hostname to deploy to"
private: no
tasks:
- add_host:
hostname: "{{ var_hostname }}"
groups: dynamic_list
with_items: "{{ var_hostname.split(',') }}"
- hosts: dynamic_list
gather_facts: no
tasks:
....
