Ansible role dependcies/requirements.yml

[smitconsu...@gmail.com]

Hi

How can I use/configure requirements.yml? I have configured roles for all 3 groups , one role for each group. Inside every role/tasks/main.yml I have include file

- include: status check playbook.yml

Master playbook is as below:

---

- hosts: groupA

  roles:

    - main-role/groupa-status-check

 

- hosts: groupB

  roles:

    - main-role/groupb-status-check

- hosts: groupC

  roles:

    - main-role/groupc-status-check

 

Now after status check, I need to run 3 additional playbooks, one by one on all above groups. These playbooks are resided in subversion repository. These playbooks are required to be checked out with latest version. I found requirements.yml could be solution but I could not understand how this will be configured or how can I configure these pre-requites? I am new to ansible. Can someone please help how could I achieve this? Many Thanks

you can add pretask and post task within your master playbook:

---

- hosts: groupA

  pre_tasks:

   -name: <Add your task>

  roles:

    - main-role/groupa-status-check

  post_tasks:

  -name: <Add your task>.

you can also go through this page: "http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_roles.html" for more information.

Thanks Soniya. 

Actually there are three playbooks which are required to be checked out from subversion and play after every role called in master playbook. Every role has status check play book in it. So if I use post tasks as a method as you said, means after every role there will be post tasks? Lets say in future if there will be 20 roles 20 post tasks. Can we add post tasks(playbooks from subversion) somehow inside roles? Or place post tasks in top level dirctory to be used by all roles somehow?

Thanks.

>>Can we add post tasks(playbooks from subversion) somehow inside roles? Or place post tasks in top level dirctory to be used by all roles somehow?

Yes, we can do that by defining dependency in main.yml in meta directory.

Example:
#meta/main.yml

Dependencies:
