I am either missing something simple or ran into a bug. I have a playbook that passes variable to a role as follows:
roles: - { role: test_role, var1: 'some string', var2: "{{ some_var }}", var3: "{{ some_var2 }}" } Now both some_var and some_var2 are set (verified with a debug before this) in the role I have the following: - set_fact: var2 = "something" when: var2 is not defined - set_fact: var3 = "something" when: var3 is not defined - debug: "msg=' {{ var3 is not defined }} '" - debug: "msg='{{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}'" Now the output is as follows TASK: [test_role | set_fact var2 = something] *** skipping: [10.0.0.1] TASK: [test_role | set_fact var3 = something] *** ok: [10.0.0.1] TASK: [test_role | debug msg=' True '] *************************************** ok: [10.0.0.1] => { "item": "", "msg": " True " } TASK: [test_role | debug msg='{{var2}} {{var3}}'] ******** fatal: [10.0.0.1] => One or more undefined variables: 'var3' is undefined So as you can see the var2 is passed through and is defined and so the set_fact is skipped. But var3 is not passed so the set_fact runs but it is still undefined afterwards. I have tried changing the order of the variables in the playbook, renaming the variable and I always get the same problem. Anyone know what I'm missing?
