I had a kind of similar thing I did yesterday, I wanted the ability to use
a variable in the role parameters, all the examples online always show
static values being based to the role, and show roles being done in one
line syntax.
You can specify a role in a longer (not one line) form that allows it.
Playbook
---
- name: Test Role Vars
hosts: localhost
user: root
vars:
role: testrole
var1: 1
var2: 2
roles:
- role: "{{ role }}"
roleVar1: "{{ var1 }}"
roleVar2: "{{ var2 }}"
Then have a role
---
- debug: var=roleVar1
- debug: var=roleVar2
Then output
PLAY [Test Role Vars]
*********************************************************
GATHERING FACTS
***************************************************************
ok: [localhost]
TASK: [testrole | debug var=roleVar1]
*****************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"roleVar1": "1"
}
TASK: [testrole | debug var=roleVar2]
*****************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"roleVar2": "2"
}
PLAY RECAP
********************************************************************
localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
Enjoy :)
Thanks!
