role dependencies question

[张斌]

 hi,

   i have role1 which depend on role2.  and i want role2 to know the path of role1 without being hardcoded, how can i achieve this?

 #role1/meta/main.yml

  dependencies:

   - { role: role2, role_dir: "{{role_path}}" }    --> it doesn't work, role_dir is always the path of role2

thanks

Use the role_path variable to get most of the path. Then go back a dir and into role1.

 - { role: role2, role_dir: "{{ role_path }}/../role1" }
