Hi All,

I have the bellow playbook :

# site.yml :

.  
.  
.

- hosts: web-servers  
user: root  
vars\_files:

- private\_vars/secret-vars.yml

- group\_vars/all.yml

- group\_vars/us-east.yml

roles:

- { role : common , tags: [‘common-role’] }
- { role : web, tags: [‘web-role’] }

post\_tasks:  
include: roles/common/tasks/clean-files.yml

.  
.  
.

Unfortunately when I run the palybook the post\_tasks action doesn’t get executed. Any help ?

Are you running it with any tags specified perhaps?

If your post tags aren’t tagged, that could be why.
