Use the version of the role as variable in a template

[Werner Dijkerman]

Hi,

I'm curious if there is a Ansible variable available that I can use that describes the version of a role.

In a requirements.yml file, like the following:

- src: dj-wasabi.zabbix-server

  version: 1.4.0

A version can be configured and when executing the ansible-galaxy command it downloads that version of the role.

But is there also a way in a playbook that I can use this value (1.4.0) in a template that I can install on my target?

What I want to do, is with the last task in my role, to create a file on the target with that value. I can then see what version was deployed the last time and if a new execution of the role is needed.

Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords, but could not find an answer in this google group or web.

Kind regards,

Werner
