Just a quick question regarding the include\_role thing:

It seems that the “name” of the include\_role task needs to match the role name, is anybody else seeing the same? For example, if my role is called “myrole”, then this doesnt work:

I haven’t messed around with it but according to their examples, your first test should have worked.

From the docs:

```auto
- name: Run tasks/other.yml instead of 'main'
  include_role:
    name: myrole
    tasks_from: other

```

​Sounds like a bug, probably my fault for reusing name on the object and bad tests:

- name: myrole  
include\_role: name=myrole
