Deprecation of "tags=" in include

[Michel Blanc]

Hi all,

Playing with 2.0, I just stumbled on:

[DEPRECATION WARNING]: You should not specify tags in the include
parameters. All tags should be specified using the task-level option.
This feature will be removed in a future release.


So, basically, this means that you cannot do this anymore:


myrole/tasks/main.yml:

- include: setup.yml tags=myrole,setup
- include: myrole.yml tags=myrole


This pattern is very handy: it lets you "assign" tags on all tasks in a
file. This helps keeping tasks descriptions less verbose, and improves
readability

If I understand the warning correctly, we won't be able to do that in
the future. What is the rationale behind the decision ? Will there be an
alternate way to do it (besides blocks) ?

Thanks,

M

I'm also interested in this issue, as tagging includes is a core
practice in my workflow.

Tags are not being removed for includes, I just don't want them to be considered part of the include arguments. In the future, tags should be specified on the task, just like all other tasks:

- include: some_file.yml

  tags: foo

This makes things more consistent in general, and removes this one special case.

Indeed, it is much better with the new syntax.
Awesome, thanks James.
