I moved my inventory files to their own directory and now the group_vars are not loading.
Ansible Docs state:
Tip: In Ansible 1.2 or later the group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories can exist in either the playbook directory OR the inventory directory. If both paths exist, variables in the playbook directory will override variables set in the inventory directory.
My current layout is as follows:
├── hosts
│ └── dev
│ └── qa
├── group_vars
│ ├── all
│ └── dev
│ └── qa
├── roles
├── site.yml
What am I missing? If I move the inventory files back to the main directory with site.yml Ansible correctly pickups the group_vars.
