Not loading host_vars

[Jason Sarrells]

I cannot get anything in host_vars to load when running a playbook.  I am using Ansible 1.4.3.  What am I doing wrong?

~/test.yml

---
-hosts: test
 tasks:
    - name: debug
      debug: var={{ foo }}

/etc/ansible/hosts

[test]
10.1.0.241

/etc/ansible/host_vars/test

---
foo: bar

or

~/host_vars/test

---
foo: baz

Well, you're using a terribly ancient version of Ansible, unrelated to your question.

Upgrade to 1.6.10 first, you're missing some security fixes and numerous other upgrades.

What you have in the first "host_vars" should be fine, however.

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and thought I would share. The host is 10.1.0.241, not "test" (that is the group name).  My host_vars file should be /etc/ansible/host_vars/10.1.0.241.  Once I corrected the file name, everything worked as expected.
