script-server

This isnt an issue, more like a question, but I didnt know where else to post it.

So I have an ansible playbook that has a couple vars in a vars.yml file. Id like to pass those vars into the script server as some parameters but Im not sure how. I can get the playbook to run just fine using the variables that are already in my vars.yml file.

My script path is ansible-playbook main.yml My working directory is the location of the playbook.

In my vars.ymlfile I have param1, param2 and param3. In my playbook i have those as variables {{ param1 }} etc. Do I need to pass those asextra-vars in my script path and then add those vars as parameters in the script?

Hi @jdotsmith, to be honest I don't know anything about ansible. But most probably, you can pass those vars via command line (i guess this is the right approach https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30662069/how-can-i-pass-variable-to-ansible-playbook-in-the-command-line as you suggested too) Unfortunately, script server doesn't allow passing variables in this format, it always passes every variable as a separate argument. In this case a separate wrapping script would be needed. Which would take separate arguments passed by script server, and called Ansible with those arguments merged together

Yeah. Script server runs my command just fine, but takes the current variables. I could potentially have script-server populate the vars file for me with a script I suppose. Thanks for getting back to me.
