group_vars - is this supported?

[Tennis Smith]

Can group_vars have nested sub-directories?  For example, can I have directories for groups "group_one" and "group_two" like this:

group_vars/
     all
     group_one/
         all
         foo
         bar
     group_two/
         all
         foo
         bar

Thanks,

-T

Yes, up to one level.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not sure what "one level" means.  If I read the docs correctly, the group_vars dir can (should?) be inside the inventory directory.  If that is true, then how can one level work?

One level means

group_vars/foo.yml

or group_vars/foo/a.yml and group_vars/foo/b.yml

is ok

group_vars/foo/some_directory/a.yml

will not find the data in a.yml

​I mean, for a group 'tomcat' you can have a file tomcat, OR a dirctory tomcat. You cannot have another directory beneath tomcat.​

​group_vars should be in the inventory directory yes.​
