Host classification problem

[Jan Jungmann]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with host classification. In my hosts file i have a “nodejs:children” group with application “foo”. “foo” has server-a. In site.yml I use hosts: nodejs:&{{ application }} and assign a role. This works well with multiple applications until the same server is configured in multiple groups. Then multiple roles are applied. I would expect only 1 role applied. Any idea what is going wrong? Here is the relevant files:

hosts:

```

[nodejs:children]

foo

[java:children]

bar

[foo]

localhost

[bar]

localhost

```

site.yml:

```

---

- name: deploy nodejs app

  hosts: nodejs:&{{ application }}

  roles:

    - nodejs

- name: deploy java app

  hosts: java:&{{ application }}

  roles:

    - java

```

command:

```

ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts --check -e 'application=foo'

```

Thanks,

Jan

The hostnames in inventory are unique, if you define a host in more
than one place, it is the same host.
