Getting handlers to run in-between roles

[Toby Wintermute]

Hi,

I must be doing something wrong, but I don't understand what.

I want notified handlers to run between one role and the next. From reading other posts here, it seems that is how it is supposed to work, but it's not what I'm seeing.

A simplified version of my playbook layout is like this:

playbook.yml - this contains one role, Wholemeal.

Wholemeal/meta/main.yml -- this contains one role as a dependency, Sourdough.

Wholemeal/tasks/main.yml -- this contains some stuff that won't work until the Sourdough handler, below, has restarted something.

Sourdough/tasks/main.yml -- installs a configuration, notifies a service to restart.

Sourdough/handlers/main.yml -- has the notify handler to restart the service

When I run ansible-playbook playbook.yml, I see it run the Sourdough tasks first, then immediately the Wholemeal tasks, and only after them does it run the Sourdough-notified handler :(

Is there a way to get this handler to run between the two roles?

Keeping in mind that I only want to run it if the config file was changed, not *every* time...

Thanks in advance,

Toby

last task in each role:

meta: flush-handlers

Hi

That didn't work, but you put me on the right path -- it needed to be

meta: flush_handlers

(note underscore instead of dash)

Thanks, appreciate the help,

Toby

code blurbs.
