Hello,
I am new learner, trying to get hands on inclusions, where I am using
include_vars & include, however playbook execution is falling with an
undefined variable error.
[user@node0101 veriable_include]$ ansible-playbook -i inventory
myplaybook.yml
PLAY [Install Some Package]
********************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [Gathering Facts]
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [node0102]
TASK [include variables from varPackage.yml]
***************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [node0102]
TASK [Install {{ vars.package }} package]
******************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [node0102]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an
undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute
'package'\n\nThe error appears to be in
'/home/user/veriable_include/tasks.yml': line 2, column 3, but may\nbe
elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe
offending line appears to be:\n\n---\n- name: Install {{ vars.package }}
package\n ^ here\nWe could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be
an issue with\nmissing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets
when they\nstart a value. For instance:\n\n with_items:\n - {{ foo
}}\n\nShould be written as:\n\n with_items:\n - \"{{ foo }}\"\n"}
PLAY RECAP
