group_var are not resolved properly

[Srinivas]

• development
• inventory
• group_vars
• webservers
• all.yml
• secret.yml
• services
• all.yml
• all.yml
• webservers.yml
• services.yml

My inventory file looks like 

[webservers]

dev1

[services]

dev1

dev2

I have 2 play-books , webservers.yml which defines a set of roles for the webserver hosts to be executed and similarly another playbook services.yml for deploying some services. 

When i  try to execute  "ansible-playbook -i development webservers.yml"  i could able to resolve all the variable defined in the  webservers directory under group var. 

But when i try to execute "ansible-playbook -i development services.yml"  i could NOT able to resolve any variable defined in "/group_vars/services/all.yml".  But if i keep the same variables in "/group_vars/all.yml" the variables are resolving properly.

I have tried removing the folders in the group_vars and specifying all the variables in webservers.yml and services.yml . But no luck. 

As per the ansible doc this should be supported. Could some one help me what is going wrong with the setup. 

$ ansible --version

ansible 1.6.6

Thanks Benno . Thats worked out.

The main mistake i was doing is creating the file with the name of the playbook but not with the host groups.
