Resolve file path with {{ role_path }}

[jonwolski]

I was getting errors with this playbook when executing "include OS family/distribution specific variables." Even though my ansible_os_family is RedHat, with_first_found was finding no results. (I am running Centos 7, but I confirmed the RedHat value in the ansible facts with ansible all -m setup.)

When I prepended the defaults/... relative path with {{ role_path }}, this playbook ran successfully.

@jonwolski which ansible version was it breaking with?

FWIW, I was applying this role from a role defined outside of my standard roles directory.

I have something like https://gist.github.com/jonwolski/aa235a5d3e774a08df8e0d40b48a4a48 checked out on my Macos box at ~/workspace/infrastructure.

When I run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml, the ansiblebit.oracle-java role is installed in /usr/local/etc/ansible/roles. However, this is referenced in a playbook (site.yml) found in a sub-directory of my home directory.

@jonwolski no problem.
I just wanted to know which version so I keep a close eye on it when I run my tests.

thank you!

[jonwolski]

My pleasure. Thanks.
