I'm trying to dynamically include tasks along with using tags. The issue
I'm running into is that yes, its including the tasks file, but its not
executing any of the tasks within that file. After reading the Creating
Reusable Playbooks guide, it appears this is by design for include_tasks.
My question is why? I'm now left having to add a tag to each individual
task within the dynamically included tasks file. This seems less than
ideal. Is there a better way I should be going about this?
Example:
playbook.yml
---
- name: Test
hosts: localhost
gather_facts: False
connection: local
tasks:
- include_tasks: "{{ dynamic_variable }}.yml"
tags: test
dynamic_variable.yml
---
- ping:
Playbook run *without *tag, tasks from dynamic_variable are executed
ansible-playbook playbook.yml
Vault password:
PLAY [Test]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [include_tasks]
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
included: /etc/ansible/dynamic_variable.yml for localhost
TASK [ping]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
PLAY RECAP
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
Playbook run *with *tag, dynamic_variable file is included, none of the
tasks contained within are executed due to not having tag.
ansible-playbook playbook.yml -t test
Vault password:
PLAY [Test]
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
TASK [include_tasks]
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
included: /etc/ansible/dynamic_variable.yml for localhost
PLAY RECAP
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
The reason this is a problem for me is because within one of my dynamic
tasks files I have 20-30 tasks. I'd prefer not to have to add a tag to
each individual task as that is how ansible used to function with the now
deprecated include module. It appears that if I roll back to before commit
ebf971f
<https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/ebf971f931290a113f738f658d7a6e095994e120>,
my issues go away.
So back to my original question. Is there a better way I should be going
about this? If so, how?
