Hello,

I have encountered a bug the latest ansible that I’m trying to figure out.  
It works in 2.0.1.0 but fails in 2.1.1.0. It seems like the variable scope gets broken when using includes inside a roles tasks yml.  
I have produced an example on github that exposes the bug. [https://github.com/paulnicholson/AnsibleTest](https://github.com/paulnicholson/AnsibleTest)

Thanks for the help!

Paul

This is fixed in 2.1.2.0. Sorry for the noise, I didn’t notice the new version until after posting.
