module: include_role
short_description: Load and execute a role
description:
- "Loads and executes a role as a task, this frees roles from the `role:` directive and allows them to be treated more as tasks."
version_added: "2.2"
options:
name:
description:
- The name of the role to be executed.
required: True
tasks_from:
description:
- "File to load from a Role's tasks/ directory."
required: False
default: 'main'
notes:
- THIS IS EARLY PREVIEW, THINGS MAY CHANGE
- Only basic roles have been tested for now, some things might not work as expected.
- Handlers are made available to the whole play.
- Currently role variables are not pushed up to the play.
- "Things not tested (yet): loops, plugin overrides, nesting includes, role dependencies, used as handler, other stuff I did not think of when I wrote this."
