Why I cannot prompt for a variable that will be shared by multiple plays (ansible 1.6.5) -


i have distilled playbook has 3 plays. goal collect database password prompt in 1 play , use same password in other 2 plays.

---  - name: database password   hosts:     - webservers     - dbservers   vars_prompt:     - name: "db_password"       prompt: "enter database password databse user root"       default: "root"  - hosts: dbservers   tasks:     - command: echo {{db_password | mandatory }}   - hosts: webservers   tasks:     - command: echo {{db_password | mandatory }}

it fails shown below.

enter database password databse user root [root]:   play [database password] ******************************************************   gathering facts ***************************************************************  ok: [vc-dev-1]  play [dbservers] **************************************************************   gathering facts ***************************************************************  ok: [vc-dev-1]  task: [command echo {{db_password | mandatory}}] ***************************  fatal: [vc-dev-1] => 1 or more undefined variables: 'db_password' undefined  fatal: hosts have failed -- aborting  play recap ********************************************************************             retry, use: --limit @.../playbook2.retry  vc-dev-1                   : ok=3    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0

i have found following workaround using set_fact assign variable entered user variable playbook scope. seems var_prompt variables not facts , other variables, scope restricted in play prompts them not entire playbook. not sure if feature or bug.

---  - name: database password   hosts:     - webservers     - dbservers   vars_prompt:     - name: "db_password"       prompt: "enter database password databse user root"       default: "root"   tasks:     - set_fact:         db_root_password: "{{db_password}}"  - hosts: dbservers   tasks:     - command: echo {{db_root_password | mandatory }}   - hosts: webservers   tasks:     - command: echo {{db_root_password | mandatory }}
