A couple things that could help your code:
The with_role block is redundant; run will already run in the context of the
workflow since you defined it at the task level;
:"#{workflow}" == workflow.to_sym
I would prefer to see the latter and consider the former a code smell. It's
less declarative and mistake prone.
Be careful of your ruby quoting; single quotes do not do variable expansion
set :workflow, 'hello world'
'#{workflow}' => #{workflow}
"#{workflow}" => hello world
The declarative way to call a dynamic task would be
update_etc_hosts.send(workflow.to_sym)
Theres no ambiguity of what the above line is trying to accomplish.
If this is the first time you've seen 'send' then read up on it; ruby is built
on top of send. All of the method missing stuff and all of the meta programming
that ruby inspires is all based on the concept of 'message sending'
