[ansible-project] setting variables inside a loop

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

I think I'm missing something obvious, so please point me in the right
direction (ansible 2.3).

- name: load and run services
  include_role:
name: "resource_{{ item.resource }}"
  vars:
resource: "{{ item }}"
  with_items:
- "{{ services }}"


How do I set the var ('resource') to something dependent on my item?
Whatever syntax I try I always end up with a literal and not the value. Is
setting variables using loop values not supported?

kind regards
Pshem

you want:

loop_control:
   loop_var: resource

Turns out it's actually a bug in 'include_role' - a bunch of tickets have
been opened about this. The general issue is that various types of
variables are not visible inside the 'include_role' scope. (see here:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20include_role%20vars
 )

For now I've replaced the 'include_role' with 'include' and a bunch of
hacks to get the paths right.

kind regards
