Using import_playbook and environment.

[Alex Walender]

Imagine following situation:

I have a big main.yaml playbook file, where I include roles and import many different other playbooks.

I am behind a corporate proxy which I have to include in the main playbook with the environment field.

For this I have an example of my main yaml file:

__________________________________________________

---

#FORCED ROLES

  - hosts: all

    become: true

    roles:

      - ANXS.nodejs

      - ANXS.fail2ban

   environment:
     http_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

     https_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

#OTHER PLAYBOOKS

  - import_playbook: ansible_playbooks/docker_setup.yaml

    environment:
     http_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

     https_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

  - import_playbook: ansible_playbooks/unipostgresql.yaml

    environment:
     http_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

     https_proxy: http://some.proxy.de

______________________________________________________

The roles are using the proxys as intended.

Sadly, the imported playbooks ignore the environment field and those 2 playbooks fail.

Is there a way to achieve this without MODIFYING each imported playbook?
