I am trying to create multiple different directory structure using the with_items and again i need to refer the same directory structure in the other plays in the playbook.

for example

  • file: name=/jenkins/data/{{item.dir1}}/{{item.dir2}}
    with_items:
  • {dir1: str-build, dir2: gitconfig_dev}
  • {dir1: btr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test}
  • {dir1: ctr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test6}
    …
    there are around 20 items like this
    …
    same variable i need to refer in the other play like
  • git: repo=http://github/… dest=/jenkins/data/{{item1.dir1}}/{{item.dir2}} clone=yes
    with_items:
  • {dir1: str-build, dir2: gitconfig_dev}
  • {dir1: btr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test}
  • {dir1: ctr-build, dir2: gitconfig_test6}

Again in some other play …so how do i make this global so that we define once with_items and use it in all the other play…
thank you.

Add it in a variable in group_vars/all.yml then it's global.

all.yml
