Sorry Michael, I will try to be more clear.
I am running Ansible 1.7.1 currently.
So my original site.yml is this:
$ cat site.yml.orig
---
- include: dept1-servers.yml
- include: dept2-servers.yml
- include: base-static-setup.yml
...which works fine.
The one producing the traceback is this:
I'm unclear what you meant by "can I do X" specifically, what that meant
you could or couldn't do.
A traceback in ansible is a bug though, so please figure out what the
minimum way to reproduce that is and file a ticket (provided you are using
at least 1.7.1 already and it can be reproduced there)
Hmmm, I guess not...
$ ansible-playbook -i temp-stor-inv -u root -k site.yml --tags=mailserver
-e "distro=os-Fedora-20"
SSH password:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ansible-playbook", line 309, in
sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
File "/usr/bin/ansible-playbook", line 191
Thanks, Michael! But can I do the following?
$ cat site.yml
---
- hosts: all
tasks:
# Set up OS-specific groups
- group_by:
key=os-{{ansible_distribution}}-{{ansible_distribution_version}}
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"
include:
- dept1-servers.yml
- dept2-servers.yml
- b
Sorry in the above, the word "distro" should be "pattern".

You can't use group_by stuff at that point because it hasn't run yet, true,
but there is a solution to what you would like to do, using two plays in
the same playbook
- hosts: all
tasks:
- group_by: key=os-{{ ansible_distribution }}
- hosts: "{{ distro | default('all') }}"

The --limit happens early, at initialization, and at that time the group
is indeed empty.
AFAIK, there is no w
Hi all,
I have an inventory file with hosts in different groups within. I would
like to run a playbook on a certain group, but only where the host members
of that group that have a certain OS (say, " ansible_distribution='Fedora'
".) I was told to look at the "group_by" module, and so in my top
