Include_vars with predefined variables?

Hello - Can include_vars also include predefined variables? I have a variable {{ WMS_HOME }} which debug resoles properly but include_vars doesn’t carry it through.

role/vars/SDN500.yml

backup_files:

  • src_path: “{{ WMS_HOME }}/distribution/”
    filename: “scope.war”
    dest_path: “{{ SDN_backup_dir }}/{{ code_tier }}/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}/scope/”

Code:

`

  • name: Include vars for SDN list
    tags: sdnlist
    include_vars: “{{ item }}.yml”
    register: include_vars_output
    with_items: “{{ SDNs }}”

  • debug: msg=“Home={{ WMOS_HOME }}”
    tags: sdnlist

  • debug: msg=“Src Path={{ item.src_path }}”
    tags: sdnlist
    with_items: “{{ backup_files }}”
    `

Output:

TASK [role_utility_sdn_backups : Include vars for SDN list] ********************
ok: [host] => (item=SDN500)
TASK [role_utility_sdn_backups : debug] ****************************************
ok: [host] => {
“msg”: “Home=/apps/scope/manh/WM”
}
TASK [role_utility_sdn_backups : debug] ****************************************
ok: [host] => (item={u’filename’: u’scope.war’, u’src_path’: u’{# WMS_HOME #}/distribution/‘, u’dest_path’: u’{# SDN_backup_dir #}/{# code_tier #}/{# inventory_hostname_short #}/scope/'}) => {
“item”: {
“dest_path”: “{# SDN_backup_dir #}/{# code_tier #}/{# inventory_hostname_short #}/scope/”,
“filename”: “scope.war”,
“src_path”: “{# WMS_HOME #}/distribution/”
},
“msg”: “Src Path=/distribution/”
}

Thanks
