Using Ansible.cfg with roles and tasks

[Rick O'Shea]

I have roles that depend on the ssh_args settings of the local Ansible.cfg, and they succeed.

I also have a role that assumes different ssh_args values, and it fails. 

How do we specify Ansible.cfg settings specific to a role or to a playbook (that uses those roles)?

/playbooks 

  a.yml

  b.yml

  c.yml

  Ansible.cfg

  /roles

    /foo

    /bar

    /baz

    /qux

I haven't seen any information using Ansible.cfg with roles.  

Ugly workaround: completely separate folder hierarchy for each Ansible.cfg group.

you can set the equivalent host var (ansible_ssh_args), in group_vars/all adjacent to play.
