Hello!

Yesterday I’ve update my ansible from 1.3 to 1.5 and it’s broke all my playbooks.

My playbooks looks like:

**create.yml:**

- name: Recreate instance  
hosts: localhost  
gather\_facts: False  
vars\_files:

- vars/main.yml

- vars/staging.yml  
tasks:

- include: tasks/create.yml  
with\_flattened:

- ‘{{ staging }}’

**tasks/create.yml:**

So “broke all my playbooks” isn’t really helpful.

You’ll need to share what kind of problem you’re actually experiencing, including output where relevant.

include: + with\_items was deprecated in 1.4 and removed in 1.5, yes It will break all your playbooks that use it. (broke mine too) but it is a planned breakage.

I rewrote my playbooks like

tasks:

- { include: tasks/create.yml, items: ‘{{ nodes }}’ }
