Hi,
The 1.5.4 change to stop expanding 'facts' variables in 'vars_files' paths
has just hit me (I know I'm behind, running of Scientific Linux 6 so
updates are slow!).
I'd just like to point out that the web documentation needs to be updated:
specifically the 'vars_files' example in the 'Conditional Imports' section
still uses "{{ansible_os_family}}" in the path:
http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#conditional-imports
I'd like to also ask for some advice on how to update my playbooks now to
deal with the new behaviour.
I know there's a note saying that the feature isn't used that often, and
points you to the 'group_by' module, but to be honest the examples on the
group_by page make no sense to me
(http://docs.ansible.com/group_by_module.html).
This is what I have (and worked prior to 1.5.4):
vars_files:
- ../vars/global.yml
- ../vars/{{ansible_distribution}}.yml
(and so I have a 'vars/Ubuntu.yml' and 'vars/Scientific.yml' etc where I
put a couple of OS-specific vars).
I guess I'll need to reorganise things and maybe use
{{ansible_distrubution}} more, but if anyone has an example of how they
migrated, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Paddy
