I have a playbook called: **testing\_vars\_pass.yml**

It imports another playbook called: **testing\_vars\_call.yml**

The playbook **testing\_vars\_call.yml** expects a variable called: **myVar**

Below is the contents of each playbook …

$ cat **testing\_vars\_pass.yml**

Could you be more specific? What exactly is the issue you're seeing? Playbooks? Commands you're using? Output?

In any case, this is definitely a better question for ansible-project@ list

The post below had lots of errors, including self referring variables, and lack if understanding variables scope [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user\_guide/playbooks\_variables.html#scoping-variables](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#scoping-variables)
