Thanks, I was trying to do the following (which pretty much comes straight
from the manual) but I can't get it to work:
(This is within a role)
# Load a variable file based on the OS type, or a default if not found.
- include_vars: "{{ item }}"
with_first_found:
- "{{ ansible_distribution }}.yml"
- "{{ ansible_os_family }}.yml"
- "default.yml"
result: failed: [hostname] => {"failed": true, "item": null}
I don't see how 'item' is ever going to be 'null' at this point...
