Re: [ansible-project] Cannot load env file

[Dick Visser]

include_vars expects a yaml formatted file, so that won't understand
your shell environment variables file.
You could write an ansible task that parses that .env file.
But I would just source that .env file from the shell that ansible
runs from and be done with it.
