Ansible playbook does not work as expected, when using include_role with with_items to loop over multiple roles.

role/ServiceDeploy/tasks/main.yml

  • name: SERVICE Deployment
    include_role:
    name: ‘{{item}}’
    with_items:
  • “{{ SERVICE_DEPLOY_LIST }}”

Defaults/main.yml

SERVICE_DEPLOY_LIST:

  • ‘MicroService1’
  • ‘MicroService2’
  • ‘MicroService3’
  • ‘MicroService4’
  • ‘MicroService5’

roles/MicroService1/tasks/main.yml

  • name: Initiating Service Deployment
    include_role:
    name: DEPLOY
    tags: MicroService1-Deploy

roles/DEPLOY/tasks/main.yml

  • Huge list of tasks

EXPECTED RESULTS
I should be able to call multiple roles, using include_role and with_items. So that I can deploy all the services at the same time.

ACTUAL RESULTS - When I list tasks (–list-tasks)

It does not call Nested Roles

playbook: deploy.yml

play #1 (all): SERVICE Deployment TAGS:
tasks:
ServiceDeploy : Initiating Service Deployment TAGS: [ServiceDeploy]
