workaround to using a variable list of vars with include

Hi everyone,

I need to include a playbook which is essentially contains a set of inititalization tasks for any set of variables passed to it. Like so:

    • include: upstart_common_init.yml

  2. vars:

  3. program_name: “{{ item.service_name }}”

  4. program_config_options: “–config-file /etc/xyz/{{ item.service_conf }}”

  5. system_user: “{{ system_user_name }}”

  6. system_group: “{{ system_group_name }}”

  7. service_home: “{{ system_home_folder }}”

  8. with_items: some_services

  9. when: >

  10. inventory_hostname in groups[item.service_group] and

  11. item.service_en == true

  12. tags:

    • upstart-init

Where the some_services is a dictionary of services:

some_services:

  • { service_name: abc, service_en: True, service_conf: abc.ini, service_group: abc_group }

  • { service_name: def, service_en: True, service_conf: def.ini, service_group: def_group }

I know with_items isn’t supported with include so i get:

  1. ERROR: [DEPRECATED]: include + with_items is a removed deprecated feature, Please update your playbooks.

What would be a reasonable way to implement the above block of code?

Thanks,
J
