If I have a directory structure like this:
`
├── app1_playbooks
│ └── deploy.yml
├── hosts
└── roles
├── app1
└── app_common
`
app1_playbooks/deploy.yml looks like this:
`
- hosts: all
roles: - { role: ‘…/roles/app1’, tags: ‘app1’ }
`
and role app1 depends on the role app_common.
The problem here is that if you run:
`
ansible-playbook -i hosts app1_playbooks/deploy.yml
`
Ansible will throw an error:
ERROR: cannot find role in /home/user/ansible_playbooks/app1_playbooks/roles/app_commonor/home/user/ansible_playbooks/app1_playbooks/app_common`` or /etc/ansible/roles
Why doesn’t Ansible search for role dependencies in the directory of the current role, but only in the roles_path (and a few predefined paths). My question is could we add that it also searches in the directory of the role which depends on other roles?
