use vars from include_role

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

I want to use the following task (with ansible ansible-2.3.1.0-0.2.rc2):

- name: "Install web2ldap on {{ openldap_role }}"
include_role:
name: web2ldap
private: False
vars:
web_server: "apache2"
web2ldap_pip_index_url: "{{ aedir_pip_index_url }}"
web2ldap_pip_needs_compiler: "{{ aedir_pip_needs_compiler }}"
web2ldap_pip_extra_args: "{{ aedir_pip_extra_args }}"
when: openldap_role=="provider"

The role sets some vars that are used in later tasks.

If I execute the role itself before another role in the same playbook web2ldap's vars are
present an can be used. But not with the include_role task above.

Any hint what's going on is highly appreciated.

Ciao, Michael.

This was discussed in another thread. Seems to be a bug in the "include_role" module

I already suspected that and abandoned the separate role and replaced the include_role
task with normal tasks.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Ciao, Michael.
