I’ve been using a callback plugin in Ansible 1.9.4 to pull a bunch of variables, format them into a string, and send out an email to users.

I’m testing the upgrade to Ansible 2.0.1 and it looks like the property is not available anymore.

How do I grab the extra\_vars in a callback plugin this version?

Thanks.

Super frustrating … this happened to me as well. Did you figure it out?
