Hi,

I have a role with multiple task files and I include only few of them in my different playbook

I did below but it gives an error:

tasks:

- name: check configuration  
include\_role:  
name: config\_check  
tasks\_from: “{{ item }}”  
with\_items:
- ldap
- dns

it gave an error:  
ERROR! invalid options for include\_role: with\_items

so I try below :

tasks:

- name: check ldap configuration  
include\_role:  
name: config\_check

tasks\_from: ldap

- name: check dns configuration  
include\_role:  
name: config\_check

tasks\_from: dns

Is this correct design approach ?

Thanks and regards  
Punit

Approach ok but your indentation is off.

with\_items should be at the same level as include\_role.
