I currently have a role(role\_one) that, as specified in its meta/main.yml, list another role dependency (role\_two). dependencies: - src: git+https://wwwin-github.com/role\_two.git version: master I would like this dependency (role\_two) to run AFTER role\_one. However, every time I invoke role\_one, role\_two always gets run first. Is there any way to alter this behavior? Or does having a dependency listed mean that dependency will always run first? Any help would be appreciated! -Ryan ---

Dependency always run first. Either reverse the dependencies or bypass by listing the roles in order in play or use include\_role to run the role at the exact point you want. ---

Thanks for the reply. I decided to just use a requirements.yml file and invoke the role with the “include\_role” module to get the desired behavior.
