Variables not consumed from delegated host

[kristianheljas]

Digged a bit deeper and this is actually partially true.

When task executor resolves connection options it templates them using delegated variables (cvars and templar both contain delegated variables)

Few lines below, original variables are restored and it will only update connection variables that are not set , due to check in ConnectionBase.update_vars(). These variables are listed in COMMON_CONNECTION_VARS

So given following inventory:

db ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_port=2201 ansible_user='vagrant' ansible_ssh_private_key_file='/home/kristian/projects/ansible-playground/.vagrant/machines/db/virtualbox/private_key'
webserver-1 ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_port=2222 ansible_user='vagrant' ansible_ssh_private_key_file='/home/kristian/projects/ansible-playground/.vagrant/machines/webserver-1/virtualbox/private_key'
webserver-2 ansible_host=127.0.0.1 ansible_port=2200 ansible_user='vagrant' ansible_ssh_private_key_file='/home/kristian/projects/ansible-playground/.vagrant/machines/webserver-2/virtualbox/private_key'

• ansible_port will remain as-is, since it’s already defined
• ansible_private_key_file gets set from delegated host, since it’s set as ansible_ssh_private_key_file alias in the inventory.

Will see a bit later if i can come up with some concise description of this to update the docs.
