The value of groups_tree_var = 5000.
|
|
|
|
|
This comes from host, not the parents or grandparents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of the grandparent variable grandparent_var is
|
|
|
|
|
not overridden and is = 2000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of the parent variable is not overriden and
|
|
|
|
|
is = 6000
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The variable 'overridden_in_parent' is set in the parent
|
|
|
|
|
and grandparent, so the parent wins. It's value is = 1000.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The values of 'uno', 'dos', and 'tres' are set in group_vars/all but 'tres' is
|
|
|
|
|
set to the value of 'three' in group_vars/local, which should override it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
uno = 1
|
|
|
|
|
dos = 2
|
|
|
|
|
tres = three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The values of 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd' are set in host_vars/local and should not
|
|
|
|
|
be clobbered by values that are also set in group_vars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a = 1
|
|
|
|
|
b = 2
|
|
|
|
|
c = 3
|
|
|
|
|
d = 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of 'badwolf' is set via the include_vars plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
badwolf = badwolf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of 'winter' is set via the main.yml in the role.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
winter = coming
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's an arbitrary variable set as vars_files in the playbook.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vars_file_var = 321
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And vars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vars = 123
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variables about other hosts can be looked up via hostvars. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
facts but here we'll just access a variable defined in the groups.

Ansible has pretty basic precedence rules for variable overriding. We already have
|
|
|
|
|
some tests above about group order. Here are a few more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* -e variables always win
|
|
|
|
|
* then comes "most everything else"
|
|
|
|
|
* then comes variables defined in inventory
|
|
|
|
|
* then "role defaults", which are the most "defaulty" and lose in priority to everything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Given the above rules, here's a test that a -e variable overrides inventory,
|
|
|
|
|
and also defaults, and role vars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
etest = from -e
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now a test to make sure role variables can override inventory variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
role_var_beats_inventory = chevron 5 encoded
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Role variables should also beat defaults.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
role_var_beats_default = chevron 6 encoded
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But defaults are lower priority than inventory, so inventory should win.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inventory_beats_default = narf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's the end of the precedence tests for now, but more are welcome.
