In this paper ansible The version is 2.9.

Scene reproduction

Here is Role Tasks to be tested in ：

# role01.yml
# ... Ahead tasks

- name: included task for test
  include_tasks: test01.yml
  tags: 
    - test01

# ...  hinder tasks

In the execution of the whole Role when ,test01.yml Will be imported normally playbook And implement ：

$ ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini all role01.yml

But when we want to pass tags When testing this task alone ,

$ ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini all role01.yml --tags "test01"

Something strange happened ：include_tasks The task itself was carried out successfully , But imported test01.yml But not implemented ！

Cause analysis

In the face of include_tasks Task use tags when , Only to include_tasks The task itself takes effect , And Can't Take effect on the tasks contained in it .

So if we want to work on the tasks included , How do you do that ？

terms of settlement

Can pass include_tasks Modular apply Parameters , Tag the included tasks .

Change the above task to the following form

# role01.yml
# ... Ahead tasks

- name: included task for test
  include_tasks: 
    file: test01.yml
    apply:
      tags: test01
  tags: always

# ...  hinder tasks

And then call it ：

$ ansible-playbook -i hosts.ini all role01.yml --tags "test01"

Be careful , above tags: always Don't omit , otherwise include_tasks Itself will not be executed .always Label only for include_tasks Effective in itself . When calling other tags when ,include_tasks It will be always perform , But the tasks contained in it will not be performed .
