For those coming here from the future ;)

Make sure to pass the variable code_changed to the include file, otherwise you will get code_changed undefined errors.

# Bootstrap Symfony app
- include: ./includes/symfony-bootstrap.yml code_changed=code_changed

Hey Norman

Thanks for sharing this with others! Btw, what Ansible version do you use so that you can't access code_changed variable inside of included task?

Cheers!

Andreas S. Victor 7 years ago

Hey Victor,
Ansible version: 2.7.5.

I copied the code from the course code final folder actually. I only adjusted my paths and removed the AWS stuff.

Hey Norman,

Hm, it's weird. I just double checked and it works well for me, so I don't need to pass that extra "code_changed=code_changed". Hm, probably you mistype something, or you don't have this "set_fact" task before:


    - name: Register code_changed variable
      set_fact:
        code_changed: repo_code.changed

I also have the latest Ansible 2.7.5, so, I don't think we should tweak anything in this tutorial's code.

Anyway, I'm glad you found the correct solution for you.

Cheers!

Thanks for checking!
Seems like I messed up somewhere. Will check and get back to you if I find it :)

Victor SFCASTS Andreas S. 7 years ago

Hey Norman,

No problem, I'm glad it works for you. But I would be happy about your feedback ;)

Cheers!

Just a heads up: I'm getting "includes" deprecated notice, change to "import_tasks"

|

Victor SFCASTS gstanto 8 years ago edited

Hey gstanto ,

Thanks for letting us know! Yeah, "includes" is deprecated and will be removed in 2.8. Anyway, time to add a note about it.

Cheers!

include_tasks didn't play tasks with "-t deploy" tags (on ansible 2.5.1). In my case import_task did the job done.

|

Victor SFCASTS toporovvv 8 years ago edited

Hey toporovvv ,

Ah, good point! It's probably exactly that subtle difference between include_tasks and import_tasks. And probably we need to use import_tasks in this screencast because we do want to filter by tags here. Thanks for letting us know, I'll tweak the note in order to suggest import_tasks instead.

Cheers!
