Include unexisting files

[Dan C]

Hi,

Does someone know if and how to include plays that does not exist at the execution time?

For example.

main.yml

- include: download.yml

- include: /this/file/does/not/exist/yet/configure.yml

I would like to download some files. After download.yml finishes the file "/this/file/does/not/exist/yet/configure.yml" will exist, but not before. I would like to include the configure.yml file which will be an ansible playbook.

Is it possible?

Thanks David.

I think it would be a nice feature.

Right now I suppose that I could just run ansible-playbook from within the ansible playbook which would run the "/this/file/does/not/exist/yet/configure.yml" playbook. It should work, shouldn't it? But it even sound so awfull ! ;-)

Correct, this is not possible with playbook-level includes, however you could do it with task-level includes in 2.0.
