Hi

I am having an issue with Ansible Tower not picking up the requirements.yml file that is needed for the playbook. The documentation ([Here](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/projects.html#ansible-galaxy-support)) says that tower looks for roles/requirements.yml however tower doesn’t find my file that is located in projectroot/AnsiblePlaybook/roles/requirements.yml.

Does the roles folder need to be in the root of the checkout directory or can it be a folder relative to the playbook that is being run?

Thank you

Hi, can you send this query to support@ansible.com or file it at  
[https://support.ansible.com/hc/en-us](https://support.ansible.com/hc/en-us)? This list is for Ansible itself, not  
Tower questions.

Thanks,  
Bill
