This frees roles from the `roles:` directive and allows them to be treated more as tasks. - Unlike M(import_role), most keywords, including loop, with_items, and conditionals, apply to this statement. - The do until loop is not supported on M(include_role). - This module is also supported for Windows targets. version_added: "2.2" options: apply: description: - Accepts a hash of task keywords (e.g. C(tags), C(become)) that will be applied to the tasks within the include. version_added: '2.7' name: description: - The name of the role to be executed. required: True tasks_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(tasks/) directory. default: main vars_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(vars/) directory. default: main defaults_from: description: - File to load from a role's C(defaults/) directory. default: main allow_duplicates: description: - Overrides the role's metadata setting to allow using a role more than once with the same parameters. type: bool default: 'yes' private: description: - This option is a no op, and the functionality described in previous versions was not implemented. This option will be removed in Ansible v2.8. public: description: - This option dictates whether the role's C(vars) and C(defaults) are exposed to the playbook. If set to C(yes) the variables will be available to tasks following the C(include_role) task. This functionality differs from standard variable exposure for roles listed under the C(roles) header or C(import_role) as they are exposed at playbook parsing time, and available to earlier roles and tasks as well. type: bool default: 'no' version_added: '2.7' notes: - Handlers are made available to the whole play. - Before Ansible 2.4, as with C(include), this task could be static or dynamic, If static, it implied that it won't need templating, loops or conditionals and will show included tasks in the `--list` options. Ansible would try to autodetect what is needed, but you can set `static` to `yes` or `no` at task level to control this. - After Ansible 2.4, you can use M(import_role) for 'static' behaviour and this action for 'dynamic' one.
