I want to get the playbook name I performed. ie:ansible-playbook -i hosts test.yaml test.yaml is the playbook name I want to get. Is there a variable hold the value of “test.yaml” ? use case: - name: run test cases if the playbook is test.yaml shell: some test command when: current\_play == “test.yaml” ---
