i have this ansible structure its part of large codebase :  
it seems that when running the main playbook the defaults/main.yml app\_type:game  
don’t pass on to the current\_version.yml and give error  
why it doesn’t use the default var in defaults/main.yml

also when i pass the same variable name from --extra-vars it gives me the same error  
when i print the variable from tasks/main.yml  
it prints the right value  
what is wrong with the include\_role?
