Hi All,

Would appreciate any help on this one

I have 3 files in the /include directory and i’d like to be able to call/use these from any role.

However, hard as i try can’t get the path to find the include files

If i add this line in a template {% include “…/…/include/jpr_syslog.j2” %} in the /roles/ex3400/templates/ex3400_template_v1.0.j2

I get this

TASK [ex3400 : Generate BSL Single EX3400 Build Config] ************************
fatal: [ex3400_1]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “failed”: true, “msg”: “TemplateNotFound: …/…/include/jpr_syslog.j2”}

├── group_vars

├── host_vars
│ ├── ex3400_1
│ └── srx_1
├── include
│ ├── jpr_snmp.j2
│ ├── jpr_syslog.j2
│ └── jpr_tacacs.j2

Use relative from where you run ansible-playbook so probably

{% include "include/jpr_syslog.j2" %}
