Hi,

i’ve got this repo [https://github.com/mhristof/shorty-hefty-exile](https://github.com/mhristof/shorty-hefty-exile) and its failing with the following error

`  
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“reason”: “Unable to retrieve file contents\nCould not find or access ‘/etc/ansible/roles/oracle-java/tests/debian/ubuntu.yml’”}

`

To reproduce, clone the repository and type  
`make`

The failure seems to go away when i use role\_path to point to the file to include

`

± include: “{{ role\_path }}/tasks/debian/{{ansible\_distribution|lower|replace(’ ', ‘’) }}.yml”

Any ideas ?
