roles being ignored when ...

ansible roles are being ignored when :

  • being called from another directory outside ANSIBLE_HOME, ANSIBLE_ROLES_PATH and config file roles_path has been setup tho
  • roles begin with “n” or “m”, (haven’t tried with other letters), > the simple test i did was this nginx (ignored) renamed it to anginx (executed).

ansible 2.1.2.0
config file = /var/lib/jenkins/.ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

cat .ansible.cfg

[defaults]
roles_path = /devops/tools/ansible/roles

can you give reproducing example?
