become_method = sudo

become_ask_pass = False

[root@ansible Ansible]# ansible-playbook playbooks/upgrade1.yml --syntax-check

playbook: playbooks/upgrade1.yml

[root@ansible Ansible]# ansible-playbook upgrade1.yml --limit kernel_test

Hey @tuanama00

Not sure, but I think you used the playbook_dir variable wrong. Let me point you to docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/special_variables.html

playbook_dir
The path to the directory of the current playbook being executed. NOTE: This might be different than directory of the playbook passed to the ansible-playbook command line when a playbook contains a import_playbook statement.

Looks like this variable only works together with the ansible.builtin.import_playbook Module.

And in this sample Setup all Playbooks are in the root of the directory.

This variable playbook_dir is set by Ansible to expose information to the play itself, it is not a configuration item.

While vars_plugins is to indicate a directory that contains ‘vars plugins’ not files that define variables.

vars plugins no es para ficheros con variables, es para codigo de Ansible que crea variables Vars plugins — Ansible Community Documentation

Muchas gracias !!! Revise la documentación y parece que había omitido esta parte. Hace cuanto usas a ansible?
