Re: [ansible] Variables from var files are not properly expanded (#9621)

Hi,

this is a followup to

It worked until the referenced commit 9 days ago broke it. Also it is
used like this in a lot of playbooks for example from the Fedora
project:
https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/playbooks/groups/anitya.yml

Also why are the variables in "inventory scope" when they are not
defined in the inventory but the playbook via vars_files?

[Till Maas]

Is there some information missing to answer this? I do not find any
information about how to do this better.

http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_best_practices.html
mentions handlers only for roles and I did not find any reference about
how ansible discovers handlers if there is no role. I remember that
without setting full paths, there were problems when I started using
ansible making it not find some files depending on the current working
directory.

Hi Tyll, I've reopened the issue and will look into it.

Thanks!
