Ansible multi stage environment

[amsou]

Ho fols, 

I was wondering if anyone could advise on how I can manage multi environment variables using ansible. Imagine i have development and staging. I have the following structure: 

.

├── inventories

│   ├── development

│   │   ├── group_vars

│   │   │   └── all.yml

│   │   └── hosts

│   └── staging

│       ├─── group_vars

│       │   └── all.yml

│   │   └── hosts

├── roles

└── test.yml

In each all.yml file, i have one variable like this:

  vars: 

    name:"development"

I was wondering how is the best approach to load the values depending on a parameter to set for example on command line (-i env=development).

In test.yml, I have this:

- name: test playbook

  hosts: localhost

  connection: local

 

  tasks:

    - name: 

      debug: 

        var: name

When I execute, I get this:

ansible-playbook -i inventories/development/ test.yml  -vvv

....

ok: [localhost] => {

    "name": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!: 'name' is undefined"

}

I'm kind of new to ansible and I've found thousands of different ways and I was wondering what is the best approach? Because I'm kind of lost :( :( 

Regards,

It should be

name: "development"

as this file is only for variables and therefore "vars: " is not needed.
