Wrapping roles inside blocks to catch failures

[David Moreau Simard]

I love the idea around the new block feature in Ansible 2.

The example in the documentation includes tasks, I wanted to know if there was other areas/scopes in which we could include them ?

It doesn't look like I can get my two use cases to work. Something like this (pseudo-code):

1)

# playbook.yml
- name: Include roles
  hosts: localhost
  roles:
    - block:
      - role: create
      # Anything in the test role can fail
      - role: test
    always:
      - role: destroy

2)

# playbook.yml
block:
  - name: Create stuff
    hosts: localhost
    roles:
      - role: create

  - name: Test stuff
    hosts: test-servers
    roles:
      - role: test

always:
  - name: Destroy stuff
    hosts: localhost
    roles:
      - role: destroy


Any input is appreciated !

Would like to do the same trick.

Have you found any workaround?
