pass variables to the role with file from playbook or from dependencies

Hallo everyone.

I have the next problem.

I have two roles: database and service1 for example.

database role has defaults/main.yml with default variables.
I want service1 role has a dependency on the database role and I want to pass specific vars to database role to override it’s default variables.

so service1 meta/main.yml file will look something like:

dependencies:

  • { role: database, file_with_vars_to_include: database.yml }

or in playbook file

roles:

  • { role: database, file_with_vars_to_include: roles/service1/vars/database.yml }

I’ve tried ‘include’ and ‘vars_files’ but It seems not to work.

Kind regards,
Oleksii.
