include_role with_sequence - why it runs all possible variants on all hosts?

[Jiří Novák]

Hi,

I've stumbled upon strange behviour, any ideas what am I doing wrong?

let's say I have variables like this:

hosts:

  hostnameA.tld:

    min_id: 0

    max_id: 5

  hostnameB.tld:

    min_id: 6

    max_id: 11

 

and then if I use them in task (templatE) with_sequence, I get correct result

- name: 'xxxxx'

  template:

    src: 'service_xx.conf.j2'

    dest: '{{ some_dir }}/service_{{ "%02d" | format(item | int) }}.conf'

  vars:

    service_id: '{{ item }}'

  with_sequence: start={{ hosts[inventory_hostname]['min_id'] }} end={{ hosts[inventory_hostname]['max_id'] }}

 

this will make files with 00-05 on hostnameA.tld and 06-11 on hostnameB.tld.

but if I use them with include_role like this:

 

- name: 'yyyyy'

  include_role:

    name: 'some-role'

  vars:

    service_id: '{{  "%02d" | format(item | int) }}'  

  with_sequence: start={{ hosts[inventory_hostname]['min_id'] }} end={{ hosts[inventory_hostname]['max_id'] }}

 

the role is run with parameter 00-11 for both machines. Any idea why?

Thanks in advance,
Gh.
