Issue adding role dependancies

[Geoff Webster]

Hi, I am having issues including a role as a dependency and I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if I hit a bug.  

I am trying to include a role in another role according to the ansible docs that say to make a rundeck/meta/main.yml where I reference krb5 role

rundeck/meta/main.yml

---

- dependencies:

   - { role: krb5 }

├── roles

│   ├── krb5

│   │   ├── tasks

│   │   │   └── main.yml

│   │   └── templates

│   │       └── krb5.conf.j2

│   ├── rundeck

│   │   ├── files

│   │   │   └── its_logo.png

│   │   ├── handlers

│   │   │   └── main.yml

│   │   ├── meta

│   │   │   └── main.yml

│   │   ├── tasks

│   │   │   └── main.yml

│   │   └── templates

│   │       ├── framework.properties.j2

│   │       ├── profile.j2

│   │       ├── realm.properties.j2

│   │       ├── rundeck-config.properties.j2

│   │       └── rundeck_httpd.conf.j2

├── rundeck_test.yml

├── site.yml

└── vars

    └── rundeck_vars.yml

However when I do that I just get a traceback when I run the playbook that hasn't been helpful (at least as much as I understand it)

==> rundeck: Running provisioner: ansible...

AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be

visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.

Would anyone be able to help me figure out why I can't include this role? I thought it might be something related to this, but I tried putting blank tags in the dependency call (ex. - { role: krb5, tags: [] } ) but that had no change and I was also not calling tags anywhere, but I am not sure if that would make a difference. Any help would be great, Thanks!

Your yaml doesn't look mine - try this in the meta.yml:

---
dependencies:
- { role: krb5 }

meta/main.yml should be a dictionary, not a list. Drop the dash from "- dependencies:".
But the error should be nicer, you can make an issue about that :-)

Thanks, that was the issue. 

I'll create an issue for that.
