use vars from include_role

HI!

I want to use the following task (with ansible ansible-2.3.1.0-0.2.rc2):

- name: "Install web2ldap on {{ openldap_role }}"
  include_role:
    name: web2ldap
    private: False
  vars:
    web_server: "apache2"
    web2ldap_pip_index_url: "{{ aedir_pip_index_url }}"
    web2ldap_pip_needs_compiler: "{{ aedir_pip_needs_compiler }}"
    web2ldap_pip_extra_args: "{{ aedir_pip_extra_args }}"
  when: openldap_role=="provider"

The role sets some vars that are used in later tasks.

If I execute the role itself before another role in the same playbook web2ldap's vars are
present an can be used. But not with the include_role task above.

Any hint what's going on is highly appreciated.

Ciao, Michael.

This was discussed in another thread. Seems to be a bug in the “include_role” module

I already suspected that and abandoned the separate role and replaced the include_role
task with normal tasks.

Thanks for the confirmation.
