Conditional role "include_role:" doesn't work (with "when:"), neither with "with_items".

Guys,

I’m trying to create a top-level playbook, based on “include_role:”, instead of “roles:”, however, the “when:” condition isn’t working properly, I think.

Easy to reproduce (the content of “roles/hello-world-X/tasks/main.yml” is in the end):

This works (“include_role:” without the “when:” condition):

$ ansible --version
ansible 2.2.0.0

$ source ~/my-openstack-project-openrc.sh

$ ansible-playbook -i openstack.py hello.yml

I am also seeing when: not work with include_role. The “a” reported above is just the first letter of Thiago’s condition (ansible_hostname | search(“stack-1-sql.*”). I’ve got a boolean, etcd_enabled, so my when: etcd_enabled produces “The conditional check ‘e’ failed”

Is there something new on this topic?

I’m using some Galaxy roles and i would like to avoid any modification. Some of these roles do much more than i need and i would like to do something like:

  • name: selective tasks from galaxy role
    include_role:
    name: someones.role
    tasks_from: “{{ item }}”
    static: no
    with_items:
  • prereq.yml
  • installa.yml
  • starta.yml
  • testa.yml

Where the role has also install[b-d].yml included from the main.yml

Here i get the already known

ERROR! Could not find specified file in role: {{ item }}

Regards,
Mario

BTW: $ ansible --version
ansible 2.2.0.0

I’m getting the exact same issue. When using “when” with “include_role”, I get:

The conditional check ‘g’ failed. The error was: error while evaluating conditional (g): ‘g’ is undefined
