Hello,
I have tried something like this one... Btw, I've been using group_vars
already for my other variables.
*dir tree:*
- inventory
- inv_test_01 (file)
- group_vars (dir)
- awssbx (file)
* inv_test_01 (file) *
[awssbx]
awssandbox001.us.com
[awsdev]
awsdev001
awsdev002
* awssbx (file) *
dir_list:
- hello
- goodbye
- take-care
*Command:*
*$ ansible-playbook --inventory inv_test_01 --limit awssbx ... rest of
the command ...*
*-e "app_name= dir_list"*
or even without the -inventory also doesn't work. It is still creating
folder of the '*dir_list*'.
Thank you and appreciated.... WP
