Role dependencies - parent or calling role's path

[knowshan]

Is there any way to pass a parent or calling role's name or file-path to dependencies as variable?

---

dependencies:

  - { role: nginx, config_file: "{{ role_path }}/files/nginx.conf" }

I've tried role_path variable, but it gets interpolated in the dependency role.

If this is not possible, then is there any equivalent to specifying role path in Puppet module equivalent like below - "puppet:///modules/webapp/nginx.conf" . Then Ansible could search for role in role directories configured. Any ideas??

Thanks,
