I’m trying to set up some simple validation tests to run on pull requests to one of our playbook repos. In doing this I’ve discovered that vars\_prompt is still being triggered. This is blocking the —syntax-check run from completing unattended. Is this by design? Is there anybody out there working around it in any way? -jlk ---

I don’t believe so, I’d open a github issue for this so we can keep track of it. ---

It’s definitely not by design, though not too many people do you use vars\_prompt since it limits interactivity. ---
